Paul The Law And The Covenant

Taking issue with the understanding of “covenantal nomism” popular in today’s academia, Das offers a new perspective on Paul’s attitude toward the Law, based on a careful analysis of Second Temple Jewish writings and Pauline literature. Chapters include “Would Paul the Apostle Affirm Covenantal Nomism’s Old Covenant?”; “The Necessity of Perfect Obedience”; and “Life Under the Law According to Philippians 3:2–9 and Romans 7.”
