| Summary: | This book is one about which you might experience the gravest possible misgivings when you pick it up. It is a doctoral thesis, for one thing, and that is never a literary genre to set the heart racing; for another, it has a slightly third-hand feel to it, if your interest is in the Scriptures, since it is a learned discussion of an American Methodist scholar’s take on the Ethics of St Paul. What is the point, you might ask, since the book is not directly about Paul, but about a modern scholar writing about St Paul? The author is English/Irish, and he is writing about an American; he is a Catholic, and Furnish is a liberal evangelical. It could all have gone badly wrong. |
