PAUL AND THE ECONOMY OF SALVATION Reading from the Perspective of the Last Judgment Brendan Byrne, SJ

This major contribution to Pauline scholarship recaptures the significance of the motif of the last judgment for the interpretation of Paul.

“Byrne’s reading of Paul is informed by Catholic sensibility, but more decisively by the Jewish apocalyptic tradition that was the matrix of Pauline eschatology. An important contribution not only to Pauline studies but also to Catholic-Protestant dialogue.” —JOHN J. COLLINS, Yale Divinity School “In a time when Paul’s announcement of a final judgment threatens to disappear from even conservative readings of Scripture, Byrne provides a healthy and much-needed corrective. This work undoubt- edly will win a wide hearing.” —MARK SEIFRID, Concordia Seminary BRENDAN BYRNE, SJ (DPhil, Oxford University), is professor emeritus at the University of Divinity in Melbourne, Australia, and a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. A former member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, he has published works on Paul, all four Gospels, and a major commentary on Romans.
