ENDORSEMENTS

Matt O'Reilly offers a lucid, ground-breaking study of the relation between eschatology and ethics in the writings of Paul. O'Reilly argues convincingly for the various ways in which Paul's resurrection doctrine...is intended to shape...the social identity of members of the various Pauline churches.

This year’s speaker was Matt O’Reilly…I met him in January and was confident that he would bring a depth and an excellence to our conversation at Lake Junaluska. I was unprepared, however, for just how deep and just how excellent his talk would be.

This book [Paul and the Resurrected Body] is highly recommended. It merits a place in the reference library of every homilist and biblical scholar.
