Title
Christian Liberty: A New Testament Perspective - Paperback
by James D. G. Dunn (Author)
Back Jacket
Taking the New Testament as the charter of Christian liberty, distinguished biblical scholar James D. G. Dunn approaches the complex subject of freedom from the perspective of Scripture in order to demonstrate what is distinctively Christian liberty. After opening with an overview of the historical development of the concept of liberty, Dunn goes on to examine three scriptural "test cases" that help to elucidate the (often tense) relationship (1) between freedom and authority, as revealed in the responses of Jesus to the dominant conventions of his day, (2) between liberty and the self, derived from Paul's teaching about sin, death, and the law, and (3) between liberty and society, illustrated by a masterly exposition of Romans 14-15. In a day when the forces of fundamentalism are gathering strength once again on all sides, the theme of liberty, and not least Christian liberty, is one that demands attention. This study shows that the "freedom of Jesus" is something no Christian need fear, that liberty is not a threat to faith but one of its prime expressions.
