What place does the resurrection of Jesus Christ have in Paul's teaching concerning salvation? Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., explains in part one that a change has taken place in Reformed theology's interpretation of the center of Paul's thought - a change that affects how we should approach Paul's writings. Gaffin discusses this change and the proper way to approach Paul.
Part two uncovers the basic structure of Paul's resurrection theology and shows the central place of Christ's resurrection in the whole of Paul's theology. Part three discusses how Paul develops and uses this resurrection theme in several passages and in connection with the doctrines of adoption, justification, sanctification, and glorification. Gaffin's conclusion presents the implications of this study for the problems and program of Reformed dogmatics.
