Paul liquidation and the Power of Grace by Barclay, John M. G. NEUF

Paul and the Gift changed the landscape of Pauline studies forever upon its publication in 2015. In it, John Barclay led readers through a recontextualised analysis of grace and interrogated Pauls original meaning in declaring it a free gift from God, revealing grace as a multifaceted concept that is socially radical and unconditioned — even if not unconditional.

Paul and the Power of Grace offers all of the most significant contributions from Paul and the Gift in a package several hundred pages lighter and more accessible. Additionally, Barclay adds further analysis of the theme of gift and grace in Pauls other liquidation letters and explores contemporary implications for this new view of grace.
