Professor Charles Cranfield takes a fresh look at some important questions currently in debate. Several of these essays are previously unpublished.
Subjects include, for example, what Paul meant by "the works of law;" whether his meaning in the words "pistis Christou" was "faith in Christ" or "Christ's faith;" whether the old Testament law has a continuing place in the life of the Christian church. In "Sanctification as Freedom," the author attempts to draw out the significance of the apostle's affirmation that the law of the Spirit has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death.
Cranfield does not lose sight of the relevance of theology, and of New Testament studies in particular, to the life of the Church and of the Christian individual today.

C. E. B. Cranfield is Emeritus Professor of Theology at the University of Durham, UK.
'This collection of essays will undoubtedly attract broader reader's attention than publications of this genre usually arouse... a rich volume, presented in excellent layout and design.'
Metanoia
'This is one of the finest volumes of collected essays that I have ever had the priviledge of reviewing. In fact, the obvious attention that has gone into the selection from the author's vast list of writings... gives the volume a cohesivenes and timeliness not readily found in other collections.'
Stanley E. Porter, Journal for the Study of the New Testament
'...a model of clarity.'
Gerald R. Winslow, Seminary Studies
'There is a feeling of passionate cut and thrust in all these New Testament debates to which Professor Cranfield contributes. The author is razor sharp in his exegesis of words and phrases.'
Geoffrey Harris, Epworth Review
