Publisher's Description
Two times govern Paul's thought world: the death and resurrection of Jesus, marking the origin of the believer's life; and Christ's return or parousia, culminating God's purposes with this world. Between these two times Paul is concerned about how believers behave—how they walk. J. Paul Sampley provides a guidebook for all who want to understand Paul's thought world, his moral reasoning, and the resources for deliberation that Paul considers available to believers.

“Walking Between the Times rescues Paul from his 'Lutheran captivity' by emphasizing his eschatology as his frame of ethical reflection. Sampley's work is one more notable contribution to our reclaiming of Paul for helping Christians to live 'between the times.'”
“Sampley offers a clear and easily understood exposition of Paul's ethic, taking account of a widely accepted consensus about living between the old age and the new. It is the most accessible treatment of the issues currently available and should receive a wide readership.”
“J. Paul Sampley has provided a simple and attractive map of a complicated terrain: Paul's moral reasoning. Pastors laypeople, and students will be surprised to discover a fresh way of reflecting on moral issues in texts they thought were all too familiar.”
