Pauline Theology as a Way of Life A Vision of Human Flourishing in Christ Joshua W. Jipp Joshua Jipp places Paul’s writings within the timeless pursuit of human flour - ishing, happiness, and the good life, reframing the task of Pauline theology as an encouragement to pursue a particular way of life. “In this informed and wide-ranging study, Jipp puts Paul’s Letters in conversa - tion with both ancient philosophy and contemporary positive psychology. The result is an energetic invitation to read Paul’s theology as nothing less than ‘a way of life.’” —BEVERLY ROBERTS GAVENTA, Princeton Theological Seminary (emerita) “Brilliantly conceived and masterfully executed. A fresh and fascinating con - tribution to Pauline studies that can profitably be read by all students of the human condition.” —LUKE TIMOTHY JOHNSON, Emory University (emeritus)
Joshua W. Jipp (PhD, Emory University) is professor of New Testament and director of the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Re-enchanting the Text Discovering the Bible as Sacred, Dangerous, and Mysterious Cheryl Bridges Johns In an age when the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and mystery, and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians. “In this powerful and compelling analysis, Johns offers a way to ‘re-enchant’ Scripture that refuses domestication; sees the text’s power to disrupt, rede - scribe, and reorient; and embraces a pneumatic imagination. A must-read.” —LISA BOWENS, Princeton Theological Seminary “One can only voice a vigorous ‘yes’ to this wise and welcome book. Johns’s work is at once breathtaking and breath-giving in its expansive hopefulness.” —WALTER BRUEGGEMANN, Columbia Theological Seminary
