About The Glory of God and Paul: Text, Themes and TheologyThe apostle Paul’s theology of glory has its foundations in the biblical drama of creation, fall, redemption and consummation, and in the identity of Jesus as revealed in his teachings, life, death and resurrection. The triune God, who is intrinsically glorious, graciously and joyfully displays his glory, largely through his creation, human image-bearers, providence and redemptive acts. God’s people respond by glorifying him. God receives glory and, through uniting his people to Christ, he shares his glory with them—all to his eternal glory. Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson explore the glory of God in Paul’s letters with regard to: the Trinity; salvation; the resurrection; the new covenant; the church; eschatology; the Christian life. God intends his glory to impact many areas of believers’ lives: their gradual transformation ‘from glory to glory’ (2 Cor. 3:18) occurs as they meditate and reflect on the splendour of the Lord. |
