Summary
Paul writes that we are justified by faith apart from 'works of the law', a disputed term in contemporary Pauline debates. Matthew J. Thomas examines how Paul's early readers understood these works in question, how they relate to 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the Apostle's own meaning.

»There are few must-reads in the field, and few works that will still be referenced fifty years from now. Thomas's work is a must-read and has the potential for lasting value.«
Jonathan Huggins in Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 62 (2019), pp. 418-420
