<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In light of recent interest in whether the Protestant Reformers interpreted Paul correctly, this edited volume enables a more careful reading of the Reformers themselves. Each chapter pairs a Reformer with a Pauline text and brings together historical theologians and biblical scholars to examine these Reformation-era readings of Paul's letters.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Did the Protestant Reformers understand Paul correctly? Has the church today been unduly influenced by Reformation-era misreadings of the Pauline epistles? These questions--especially as they pertain to Martin Luther's interpretation of the Pauline doctrine of justification--have been at the forefront of much discussion within biblical studies and theology in light of the New Perspective on Paul. But that leads to another question: Have we understood the Reformers correctly? With that in mind, these essays seek to enable a more careful reading of the Reformers' exegesis of Pauline texts. Each chapter pairs a Reformer with a Pauline letter and then brings together a historical theologian and a biblical scholar to examine these Reformation-era readings of Paul. In doing so, this volume seeks a better understanding of the Reformers and the true meaning of the biblical text.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In <em>Reformation Readings of Paul: Explorations in History and Exegesis</em> (IVP, 2015), editors Michael Allen and Jonathan A. Linebaugh take the time to bring the Reformers to life as readers of Paul. The book brings a fresh look at the exegetical readings of Luther and other Reformers, showcases the historical and theological background of their era, and then seeks to bring these insights into conversation with current Pauline studies. . . . This volume promises to be an intriguing read.</p>--Bob Hayton, Fundamentally Reformed, October 31, 2015<br><br><p>In preparation for the five-hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant reformations, this volume will appeal both to the exegetes and to church historians and will hopefully rekindle the interest in Early Modern exegesis.</p>--Gergely Juhász, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, 38(5)<br><br><p>Overall, this work is a masterful beginning to what looks like a very promising field of inquiry. Those who value Reformation and Pauline studies--and especially those who value the intersection of both--must read this book. It is an essential introduction and orientation to the still-developing discipline of retrieving older readings of Paul as guides for new scholarly directions in his thought.</p>--Nathaniel Gamble, Calvin Theological Journal, Vol. 52, No. 1<br><br><p>We owe a great debt of service to Michael Allen and Jonathan Linebaugh, as <em>Reformation Readings of Paul</em> not only sets the standard for explorations in history and exegesis, it also, by God's grace, motivates contemporary readers to see through the commentaries of the reformers, and the interactions of biblical theologians, the writings of the Scripture, in order to recapture a Pauline perspective for the Christian life, which is a bold vision of our new life in Jesus Christ.</p>--William C. Roach, Themelios, April 2016<br>
