Bøker av Paul Moser

Explores, with a compelling method, the distinctiveness of Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer of those who inquire of him.

In this book, Paul Moser explains how self-sacrificial righteousness of a reparative kind is at the heart of Paul's gospel of God. He also shows how divine self-sacrifice authenticates that gospel via human reciprocity toward God in reconciliation. A basis for this reciprocity lies in a teaching of ancient Judaism that humans are to reciprocate toward God for the sake of an interpersonal relationship that is righteous and reconciled through voluntary self-sacrifice to God. Moser demonstrates that Paul's gospel calls for faith, including trust, in God as reciprocity in human self-sacrifice toward God. Although widely neglected by interpreters, this theme brings moral and evidential depth to Paul's good news of reparative redemption from God. Moser's study thus enables a new understanding of some of the controversial matters regarding Paul's message in a way that highlights the coherence and profundity of his message.

Explores the distinctiveness of Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer of those who inquire of him, while clarifying a method of inquiry regarding Jesus, in terms of best explanation regarding his experiential impact and his audience's response, which values the roles of history and moral experience in inquiry about him.
