description:  In this groundbreaking study of Paul's soteriology Michael Gorman builds on his influential Paul's Narrative Spirituality of the Cross to argue that cruciformity is at its heart theo formity -- what the Christian tradition has called theosis or participation in the life of God.A richly synthetic reading of Paul. . . . Gorman deftly integrates the results of recent debates about Pauline theology into a powerful constructive account that overcomes unfruitful dichotomies and transcends recent controversies between the 'New Perspective on Paul' and its traditionalist critics. Gorman's important book points the way forward for understanding the nonviolent world-transforming character of Paul's gospel.-- Richard B. Hays  Duke Divinity School
