Contents:

Grace as gift -- Perfections of gift and grace -- Paul, grace, and Second Temple Judaism ; -- "I do not reject the grace of God" (Galatians 1-2) ; -- The Christ-gift, the law, and the promise (Galatians 3-5) ; -- The new community as the expression of the gift (Galatians 5-6) ; -- The incongruous gift and its fitting result (Romans 1-5) ; -- New life in dying bodies (Romans 5-8 and 12-15) ; -- Israel, Christ, and the mercy of God (Romans 9-11) ; -- The grammar of grace and the gift of Christ -- The practice of grace -- Grace and other perspectives on Paul -- Paul and the dynamics of grace today.

Subject: Paul and the Gift transformed the landscape of Pauline studies upon its publication in 2015. In it, John Barclay led readers through a recontextualized analysis of grace and interrogated Paul's original meaning in declaring it a "free gift" from God, revealing grace as a multifaceted concept that is socially radical and unconditioned--even if not unconditional. Paul and the Power of Grace offers all of the most significant contributions from Paul and the Gift in a package several hundred pages shorter and more accessible. Additionally, Barclay adds further analysis of the theme of gift and grace in Paul's other letters--besides just Romans and Galatians--and explores contemporary implications for this new view of grace.
