4. Paul and Union with Christ
Con Campbell's recent book was just awarded the 2014 Christianity Today Book Award for Biblical Studies. Craig L. Blomberg writes, "Campbell tackles a massive topic on which no consensus has ever been reached. He covers the waterfront in terms of judicious analysis of the relevant Scriptures, and he adopts sensible, convincing, multifaceted conclusions. Yet for all its learnedness, the book is so carefully structured and clearly written that the reader marvels at his argument's overall simplicity and persuasiveness."
