A Christian Utopia

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A Christian Utopia is a bold re-creation of Paul's egalitarian vision, set against the iron backdrop of hierarchical Roman society. Gaudet succeeds in conveying the radical character of Paul's experiment through differential comparison with Roman sources, based upon his detailed knowledge of the social and ideological mechanisms of Roman power . . . . Gaudet's retrieval of Paul's vision is a prophetic challenge to the twenty-first-century regime of inequality and the complacency of the institutional church.”

A Theological Introduction to Paul’s Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Yung Suk Kim possesses one of the most original, refreshing, and urgent voices among the rising generation of New Testament theologians. Kim has a rare ability to synthesize various critical approaches in constructing Paul's theology: historical criticism, sociological analysis, and post-colonial interpretation interact productively. Kim's Theological Introduction to Paul's Letters invites readers to rethink crucial aspects of Paul's theology--'righteousness,' 'faith,' 'embodiment'--as avenues of subjective participation in the politics of love.”

Pain and Paradox in 2 Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is creative and courageous. From its pages there emerges a passionate biblical theologian who is capable of investing familiar concepts with new meaning in order to illuminate Paul's paradoxical conception of strength and weakness in the life of Christian believers. I do not know of a young New Testament scholar who gives evidence of contributing more to the future of Christian theology. His work has a great future in the academy and the church.”
