“

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.
