John R. Coulson is Deputy Principal and Lecturer in Bible at Brisbane School of Theology in Australia. He has been lecturing in biblical studies since 1997.
Judgment makes us feel uncomfortable. Perhaps this is why the
subject of divine judgment is receiving less attention today. It
certainly fits with the tolerance and relativism of the post-modern
world in which we live. John Coulson longs to see this trend
reversed and does a fine job of redressing the imbalance by
addressing aspects of divine judgment in Paul.
--Alan Stanley, Director of Post-Graduate Studies and Lecturer in
New Testament and Theology, Brisbane School of Theology In this
lucid, well-written, and deeply pastoral book informed by much
scholarly work, Coulson argues that God's judgment is a fundamental
presupposition of Paul's theology. Coulson shows that our
understanding of God's grace and of salvation itself will be
impoverished if we do not fully grasp what Paul says about God's
judgment. This book will greatly help us to further comprehend the
significance of these very important subjects!
--Paul Trebilco, Professor of New Testament Studies, Department of
Theology and Religion, University of Otago, New Zealand This is a
book with an urgent message, written out of a burden for the
recovery of neglected, foundational biblical truths. It represents
a clarion call to readers to grapple with Paul's teaching on God's
judgment of evil and human rebellion. Coulson argues cogently that
we will not make sense of our present experience or future destiny,
nor plumb the depth's of God's grace, apart from facing this
multifaceted reality.
--Richard J. Gibson, Principal, Brisbane School of Theology The
book addresses the serious imbalance in much Christian teaching,
preaching, and witness on judgment and salvation. Coulson's pauses
for thought throughout this book are always helpful challenges. I
know of no other work in this area that has produced such an easy
read and enormous turnaround for our day and generation.
