The following book is comprised of a series of essays and reviews that have been produced over the past several years, all related, in one way or the other, to the New Perspective on Paul (NPP). This defense of the NPP takes the form of a combination of exegesis and extended book reviews. In endeavoring to defend the NPP, the eight chapters of this book contain a common thread, namely, that the movement generically bearing this moniker is not inimical to most historical/traditional systems of soteriology. Yet because of the rather volatile reaction of many, the volume seeks to redress the balance in favor of a more tempered approach to a highly controversial topic.
This collection of essays follows upon its predecessor, originally entitled In Defense of the New Perspective on Paul: Essays and Reviews (Wipf and Stock, 2005). This second edition differs from the first in that five new chapters have been added and one review article has been deleted. The change of the main title to Studies in the New Perspective on Paul is due to the conviction that the "New Perspective on Paul" actually represents a return to the original context in which Paul proclaimed the gospel of Christ. Therefore, it is not something to be "defended," but propounded in the most positive terms possible.
Imagine having the knowledge of other places in the world, the ambition to explore them, but no means to fulfill those desires. Under the moon lies a diverse and colorful world. Elissa Johnson knows that. It is 1871. Elissa is a daughter of a maid in the wealthy Charrington household. She sneaks books from the Charringtons' library and reads stories that invite her to distant places. Elissa exists as a servant behind the gates of Charrington manor. She aspires to travel, but Mrs. Charrington insists Elissa will never be more than a maid in their small town. Elissa's mother urges Elissa to accept her destiny. Elissa witnesses the opportunities her peer, Meloney Charrington, possesses. Because of Elissa's low servant status, hope for a better life seems futile. Her ambition seems to be a curse. One day, as Elissa sits in her room crying, a gentleman named Paul appears and introduces himself. He takes her traveling to many places Elissa has read about, and brings her home before her absence is noticed. When Paul stops visiting, the young maid must ask herself if she is insane.

With the publication of his Gedichte in November of 1902, Hermann Hesse "arrived" as a literary figure in the German-speaking world. However, relatively little is known about the years immediately preceding this breakthrough. Through a great deal of "detective" work the author has succeeded in personally locating dozens of Hesse's previously unknown letters and manuscripts. These have been skillfully interwoven in this book along with a lively and most readable account of this crucial phase of Hesse's life from ca. 1899 to 1903. During this period Hesse worked as a bookseller in Basel, where he formed important friendships and creative alliances with writers, publishers, and journalists, described here for the first time. Moreover, during those years he devoted himself almost exclusively to the composition of "neo-Romantic" poetry, most notably his Notturni, handwritten sets of eight or more poems which he sold as unique collections. Two dozen of these poems are published here for the first time in the original.

They invite him to hangout, swim, dine and drink with them. Later that night, Cali, one of the women, invites Levi to swim out into the spring with her.

He awakes on a remote beach, a dark ocean stretching beyond him, waves breaking and frothing the shore. Above him is a temple.Returning to his tent the next morning, explaining t...
