Jesus and Paul

James D. G. Dunn has been one of the most
influential New Testament scholars of the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. His works have altered the very way biblical theologians
view Jesus and Paul. This book is written in gratitude of his influence
and mentorship. The focus of the work parallels the major research of
Dunn''s career. It emphasizes the life and teachings of Jesus as
remembered by his disciples, the new perspective on Paul, teachings in
the Pauline letters, and relevant topics related to ancient Judaism,
the Law, Soteriology and Christology in the New Testament.Â

In
2005 another festschrift for James D. G. Dunn''s 65th birthday was published
with essays by Professor Dunn''s many colleagues and friends. In this
volume, a new generation of scholars, who are being widely recognized
in their own contributions and publications, now honour their former teacher
and demonstrate to the scholastic community the breadth of his
influence.
