The Glory of God and Paul: Text, Themes and Theology

The apostle Paul's theology of divine glory is rooted in the biblical drama of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, and in the identity of Jesus as revealed in his teachings, life, death, and resurrection. In "The Glory of God and Paul," Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson explore Paul's view of the triune God, who is intrinsically glorious and shares that glory with his people through Christ. They show how the Pauline theology of glory is rooted in the Old Testament and Jesus, revealing a God who joyfully displays his glory through his creation and whose people respond by glorifying him. The book is a brilliant addition to the New Studies in Biblical Theology series and is ideal for students, pastors, and anyone looking for a study of Paul that digs deeply into his epistles, particularly in relation to his teachings on divine glory.
