Major Review: Pauline Dogmatics: The Triumph of God’s Love

Abstract

The book’s TiTle, Pauline Dogmatics may mislead a prospective reader about the nature of its contents. “Dogmatics” sounds like a traditional reading of Paul’s theology organized around categories derived from systematic theology. Campbell reads Paul with a firm eye on his significance for the modern church’s self-understanding, structures, and mission. The result is a sprawling but carefully argued reading of the Apostle that will likely both edify and infuriate its readers.
