Romans and Galatians from the Perspective of Paul's Gospel?
What is Paul's gospel?
How can we read Romans and Galatians from the perspective of Paul's gospel?
Many people have read these letters one way or another.
Here is my approach to the gospel of Paul, which I believe helps readers see the essence of his message.

What is weakness (astheneia)? How can we see ourselves differently with this lens of weakness? How can we understand Jesus differently with this lens?

Resurrecting Jesus
Jesus cannot be domesticated! In Resurrecting Jesus, Kim asks the fundamental two-prong question, "What, then, can we learn from Jesus, and how can we build on the significance of his life and work as we do theology for our day in the here and now?" Kim abandons the traditional divide between criticism and theology and argues that a solid New Testament theology can be reconstructed from a critical study of the historical Jesus. Jesus is put back into the context of first-century Judaism in Palestine. Resurrecting Jesus reexamines Jesus' life, work, death, and resurrection, giving readers a better, clearer understanding about the historical Jesus and the New Testament writings that refer to him; an exploration into the significance of Jesus' life, teaching, and death, based not on doctrine but on his work of God in first-century Judaism and Palestine; and a redefinition of New Testament theology that is a process of discerning and engaging the historical Jesus and the New Testament writings.
