Summary and conclusions.
Moyer. V. Hubbard offers a full investigation of St Paul's understanding of 'new life' and 'new creation'.
Moyer V. Hubbard is Assistant Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.
'A cogent and refreshing thesis that makes a valuable contribution to the interpretation of Paul's theology.' The Expository Times 'This is a very fine survey of a central theme in Paul and as such should prove valuable for scholars, students and the educated reader.' William S. Campbell, Scripture Bulletin 'This is an important book. Hubbard's case will be a force to reckon with in any further discussions regarding 'new creation' texts ... the overall picture he paints is impressive and worthy of extended consideration.' Reviews in Religion and Theology 'It is for this reviewer difficult to think of a more erudite monograph on a similar topic. It is most satisfying to find an English author so familiar with French and German scholarship. It deserves to be on the shelf of every Pauline scholar and NT theologian.' Neotestamentica 'This is one of those rare books which becomes compulsive reading. The discussion is illuminating, the engagement with Pauline scholarship impressive, the main thesis generally persuasive.' Evangelical Quarterly
