Description

World-renowned scholar Michael Gorman examines the important Pauline theme of participation in Christ and explores its contemporary significance for Christian life and ministry. One of the themes Gorman explores is what he calls "resurrectional cruciformity"--that participating in Christ is simultaneously dying and rising with him and that cross-shaped living, infused with the life of the resurrected Lord, is life giving. Throughout the book, Gorman demonstrates the centrality of participating in Christ for Paul's theology and spirituality.

Acknowledgments
T his volume has taken shape over several years, which means that I am indebted to many people for their input and feedback. It also means that I will probably forget more than one person, so I ask their forgiveness in advance. I begin with colleagues, who have also sometimes been formal or informal editors, especially Todd Billings, Ben Blackwell, Douglas Campbell, Stephen Chester, Athanasios Despotis, Susan Eastman, Steve Fowl, John Goodrich, Joel Green, Kathy Grieb, Richard Hays, Andy Johnson, Brent Laytham, Jason Maston, Frank Matera, Walter Moberly, Markus Nikkanen, Ian Paul, Klyne Snodgrass, Mike Thompson, and Tom Wright.
I am also thankful to the various institutions that asked me to give lectures that eventually became chapters of this book, and to my gracious hosts and my respondents (formal and informal) at each institution. These include the British New Testament Society; Northeastern Seminary, and especially J. Richard Middleton and Doug Cullum; North Park Theological Seminary, and especially Klyne Snodgrass and Stephen Chester; Washington Adventist University, and especially Zack Plantak (now at Loma Linda University); and various units of the Society of Biblical Literature.
I am grateful as well to my research assistants in recent years: Daniel Jackson (now Dr. Jackson), Michelle Newman Rader, and Gary Staszak. They have not only completed various research and editorial tasks; they have also been valuable conversation partners. Michelle, in particular, has been a major aide in the preparation of the book for publication.
Once again, I express my deep gratitude to my colleagues at St. Mary’s Seminary & University for their support, especially Deans Brent Laytham and Tom Burke and President-Rector Phil Brown.
My gratitude to the entire staff at Baker Academic is enormous. I am especially grateful to editors Bryan Dyer and Tim West, once again, for their support and guidance, and to Ryan Davis.
I am also grateful to the following publishers and publications for permission to use and revise previously published material: Grove Books for permission to adapt the booklet Participation: Paul’s Vision of Life in Christ for chapter 1; The Journal of Moral Theology and T&T Clark for permission to adapt, respectively, “Paul and the Cruciform Way of God in Christ” and “The Cross in Paul: Christophany, Theophany, Ecclesiophany” (from Ecclesia and Ethics: Moral Formation and the Church , ed. E. Allen Jones III, John Frederick, John Anthony Dunne, Eric Lewellen, and Janghoon Park [2016]) for chapter 2; Wipf and Stock and the journal Ex Auditu (vol. 33 [2017]) for permission to adapt “Cruciform or Resurrectiform? Paul’s Paradoxical Practice of Participation” for chapter 3; Wipf and Stock (Cascade imprint) for permission to adapt “A New Translation of Philippians 2:5 and Its Significance for Paul’s Theology and Spirituality” (from Conception, Reception, and the Spirit: Essays in Honor of Andrew T. Lincoln , ed. J. Gordon McConville and Lloyd K. Pietersen [2015]) for chapter 4; Fortress Press for permission to adapt “The Apocalyptic New Covenant and the Shape of Life in the Spirit according to Galatians” (from Paul and the Apocalyptic Imagination , ed. Ben C. Blackwell, John K. Goodrich, and Jason Maston [2016]) for chapter 5; Mohr Siebeck for permission to adapt “Reading Gal 2:15–21 Theologically: Beyond Old and New, beyond West and East” (from Participation, Justification, and Conversion: Eastern Orthodox Interpretation of Paul and the Debate between Old and New Perspectives on Paul , WUNT 2/442, ed. Athanasios Despotis; copyright © M ohr Siebeck Tübingen [2017]) for chapter 6; Mohr Siebeck and William B. Eerdmans for permission to adapt “Paul’s Corporate, Cruciform, Missional Theosis in Second Corinthians” (from “ In Christ” in Paul: Explorations in Paul’s Theology of Union and Participation , ed. Michael J. Thate, Kevin J. Vanhoozer, and Constantine R. Campbell; copyright © Mohr Siebeck Tübingen [2014]; copyright © William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. [2018]) for chapter 9; The Canadian-American Theological Review (vol. 4, no. 2 [2015]) for permission to adapt “Being ‘In Christ’ Today: Paul’s Letter to the Contemporary Church in North America” for chapter 10; and Priest magazine / Our Sunday Visitor Weekly and The Living Pulpit for permission to adapt “St. Paul and the Resurrection” and “Preaching and Living the Resurrection Today,” respectively, for chapter 11.
I dedicate this volume to Brent Laytham, my good friend and fellow interpreter of Scripture (as well as my dean). I have known few theologians or readers of Scripture as perceptive as he. I dedicate it also to my students, both near and far, formal and informal; it is an honor to be your teacher, and to learn from you too.
