Representing the fruit of a lifetime of study, this work from renowned scholar Gordon Fee offers a concise summary of Paul's teaching about Jesus. In the course of his extensive teaching and writing career in New Testament studies, Fee noticed a considerable gap in the scholarly literature regarding Paul's understanding of the person of Christ. His comprehensive Pauline Christology has been very useful for scholars, but it did not fulfill Fee's ultimate aim of the project--to make the results accessible to any interested reader of Scripture. This concise volume offers a theological synthesis of the exegetical work found in Fee's Pauline Christology, making it more accessible to a wider readership. The book includes a foreword by Cherith Fee Nordling. -- !c From publisher's description.
