The Faith of Jesus Christ: Exegetical, Biblical and Theological Studies. Edited by Michael F. Bird and Preston M. Sprinkle (April '09)
The Faith of Jesus Christ represents an attempt to grapple with one of the most
perplexing problems in Pauline studies, namely that of the phrase pistis christou. Issues
of considerable theological import hinge on how we interpret it (does it mean ‘faith in
Christ’ or ‘the faithfulness of Christ’?). The topic is now well rehearsed in contemporary
scholarship and this volume sheds new light on the question by presenting rigorous
exegetical studies from both sides of the debate. It also brings creative new proposals to
bear on the problem, and orients the discussion in the wider spectrum of historical, biblical
and systematic theology. The Faith of Jesus Christ represents the most penetrating and comprehensive attempt to date to grapple with the significance of Jesus’ faithfulness and obedience for Christian
salvation and the extent to which it is represented in key biblical texts.
