  Paul viewed Jesus Christ as marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new world and a new humanity. The author considers the implications of this centrality of Christ in relation to the people of God, to the new possibilities of human life, and to the Law, and follows Pauline Christianity into the generation after Paul himself, and then into the second century. The concentration is on theology, but matters of authorship and dating are discussed briefly where relevant. A number of key passages from the Pauline letters are given more extended treatment.
