For those inspired by Barclay's Paul and the Gift
?Ā
Over the course of his academic career, John M. G. Barclay has transformed how we think about Paul. Barclay's contributions to Pauline Studies reached a new height with the publication of his award-winningĀ
Paul and the Gift, in which he presents a sophisticated reading of Paul's theology of grace within the context of gift-giving in the Greco-Roman world. But where does Pauline scholarship go from here?
