Facets of Pauline Discourse in Christocentric and Christotelic Perspective

In this thought-provoking study, Dan Lioy asserts that a Christocentric and Christotelic perspective is an unmistakable feature of Pauls discourse. The journey begins with an analysis of the old Adamic creation in Genesis 13 before digressing into representative passages from Pauls writings, touching on such themes as new creation theology, the apostles apocalyptic interpretation of reality, and his theology of the cross. Then Lioy examines the influence of the Old Testament on Pauls Christological outlook, how the apostle viewed Satan operating as the counterfeit word, and the way in which the writings of Paul correlate with the letter from James, leading into a deliberation that Paul, rather than Christ, is to be seen as a new or second Moses. Contrast is then provided regarding the historical authenticity of the Adam character in Pauls discourse, along with the Genesis creation narratives. Facets of Pauline Discourse in Christocentric and Christotelic Perspective is the ideal volume for college and seminary classes dealing with the teaching and theology of Paul.
