Paul's Vision for a Vibrant, Grounded Discipleship--Right Here, Right NowThe apostle Paul is often associated with a theological perspective focused on the afterlife and eternity. But what if Paul's letters aren't just about the next life? What if he teaches us how to live transformed lives here and now?In Paul for the World, acclaimed New Testament scholar Nijay K. Gupta offers a compelling vision of Pauline theology rooted in everyday Christian living. He shows how Paul's teaching speaks to real-life concerns like friendship, work, culture, mental health, money, and justice, and inspires us to live meaningfully in a weary, imperfect world."This is a beautiful book. Beautiful, challenging, reorienting. With his scriptural wisdom and deft writing, Gupta calls us to see Paul through new eyes and find the hope of Christ not just in the world to come but in how we live our lives right now. Gupta reminds us that what we do matters, because Paul's vision of a world made new is a hope worth fighting for. Get this book to renew your heart and give you the courage to act more like Jesus."--Beth Allison Barr, professor, Baylor University; New York Times bestselling author of Becoming the Pastor's Wife"It is depressing how timely this book is, but that is exactly the point. When we are most tempted to despair, the gospel of Jesus Christ shows up with tangible hope. With attention to that gospel as proclaimed by Paul and as lived out by the faithful throughout church history, Gupta provides a robust insight into the New Testament to equip readers for life today: how to create, work, spend, love our neighbors, and care for ourselves. This is a book that encourages a vital Christian virtue: faithful endurance."--Amy Peeler, professor, Wheaton College
