Contents:
Prologue: What do we mean by grace? 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.
Summary: 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.
