James D. G. Dunn has been one of the most influential New Testament scholars of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His works have altered the very way biblical theologians view Jesus and Paul. This book is written in gratitude to his influence and mentorship. The focus of the work parallels the major research of Dunn’s career. It emphasizes the life and teachings of Jesus as remembered by his disciples, the new perspective on Paul, teachings in the Pauline letters, and relevant topics related to ancient Judaism, the Law, Soteriology, and Christology in the New Testament. In 2005 a festschrift for James D. G. Dunn’s 65th birthday was published with essays by Professor Dunn’s many colleagues and friends. In this volume, a new generation of scholars, who are being widely recognized for their own contributions and publications, now honor their former teacher and demonstrate to the scholastic community the breadth of his influence.
