Young readers will be fascinated and delighted as they hear the echoes and spot the visual links between the pictures and the stories.

Climax Of The Covenant
$34.00Add to cartWith an eye to recent proposals on Paul’s view of the law and of his relation to the first century context of his theological thinking, N.T. Wright looks in detail at passages that are central to the current debate. Among these Pauline texts are some of the most controversial sections of Paul, which have often been treated only superficially in studies of Paul’s theology. He argues that Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus as the climatic moment in the covenant history of Israel and from this perspective came to a different understanding of the function of the Jewish Law. Dr. Wright succeeds to a remarkable degree in drawing together the themes of Christ and the Law in a new synthesis and in shedding light on many important aspects of Paul’s thought.
