M.V. Hubbard offers a full investigation of St. Paul's understanding of "new life" and "new creation," working closely with the language of his letters to unpack, in socio-anthropological context, the images and metaphors he uses. Professor Hubbard examines other approaches and literature on the topic, providing an important new perspective on the Pauline oeuvre and its meaning.

"...a fine, well-argued book."

"...this work is useful to scholars exploring the theology of Paul. It is well worth reading."
