“All of Gordon Fee’s students, colleagues, friends, and family know his heart and tears. His profound love for Jesus overflows in lectures, conversations, prayers—and in this book. Fee also writes with love for his friend Paul and presents the Apostle’s devotion to Christ with crisp clarity and accessible language. Jesus the Lord according to Paul the Apostle is likely Gordon’s last work, written for the church and students he loved. Read the words, know the heart, and come to love Jesus Christ with wonder and joy.”
“I cut my intellectual teeth on Gordon Fee’s 1 Corinthians commentary as an undergraduate student. Again and again his academic insight astounded me, and his pastoral wisdom and overt Pentecostal spirituality encouraged me. Almost twenty years later my respect for him has not diminished; I routinely check his works in my own research and teaching. So many of his areas of scholarly and practical passion combine in Jesus the Lord according to Paul the Apostle, including his careful reading of texts, his emphasis on Christian behavior (as opposed to ‘works’), his interest in the Spirit, and his bridge work between biblical studies and systematic theology. This is a classic Fee feast. Chew on this. Chew well.”
“One of the signal biblical scholars of our day, Gordon Fee has scaled down his magisterial Pauline Christology into a more modest size to be accessible to serious students and busy clergy. The immense scope of Fee’s learning is still evident in this edition, but here is a four-part synthesis of the most important and constructive themes of Paul’s witness to the risen Christ. Especially important is Fee’s well-regarded defense of Paul’s incarnational Christology and its strategic role in his messianic conception of God’s salvation. Readers of Scripture will appreciate Fee’s discussion of Paul’s running dialogue with his Bible, the Greek translation of the synagogue’s Hebrew Scripture, to lend biblical support to his core theological claim that Messiah Jesus is God’s Son. Fee records Paul’s dynamic struggle of relating his new belief in a divine Jesus to his own Judaism’s monotheism. An excellent resource for the seminary classroom and parish library.”
