520 Here, finally, is a much-needed review and analysis of the
divergent interpretations of Paul. With a clear head and
winsome sense of humor, Stephen Westerholm compares the
traditional understanding of Paul to more recent readings,
drawing on the writings of key figures in the debate both
past and present. Westerholm first offers a detailed
portrait of the "Lutheran" Paul, including the way such
theologians as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley have
traditionally interpreted "justification by faith" to mean
that God declares sinners "righteous" by his grace apart
from "works." Westerholm then explores how Paul has fared
in the twentieth century, in which "New Perspective"
readings of Paul see him teaching that Gentiles need not
become Jews or observe Jewish law to be God's people. The
final section of the book looks anew at disputed areas of
Paul's theological language and offers compelling
discussion on the place of both justification by faith and
Mosaic law in divine redemption.
