Summary
Matthew Thiessen provides a new explanation for the apostle Paul's statements about the Jewish law in his letters to the Romans and Galatians. The argument of this book is that Paul believes that God had made certain promises to Abraham that only those who are his seed could enjoy and that these promises can be summarised as being empowered to live a moral life, inheriting the cosmos, and having the hope of an indestructible life.
