Sigurd Grindheim Libri

An introduction to and overview of the Christology of the Synoptic Gospels.

Exploring the relevance of the Letter to the Hebrews, this book delves into its messages for contemporary Christians. It examines the theological themes, such as faith, perseverance, and the superiority of Christ, and encourages readers to apply these teachings to modern life. By bridging ancient scripture with present-day challenges, the book aims to inspire a deeper understanding of faith and its implications for personal and communal living in today's world.

Sigurd Grindheim anlyzes the relationship between Paul and contemporary Judaism by investigating Paul's understanding of Israel's election. In 2 Cor 11:16-12:10 and Phil 3:1-11 Paul rejects election-based privileges as basis for confidence before God. The author argues that, for Paul, the elect identity can only be rightly conceived of as entailing conformity to Christ and his cross. Jewish election-based confidence is critiqued because it does not conform to this pattern. Finally, the author analyzes Rom 9-11, where Paul approaches the question of Israel's election from a more positive angle. In light of the results reached, the study concludes with a critique of the new perspective on Paul.
