Long regarded as one of the premier theologians of the New Testament, Paul Minear has inspired generations and influenced the path of biblical scholarship. The Kingdom and the Power represents Minear's most thorough exposition of the New Testament message, spanning the range of genres and theologies within the biblical record. In clear prose, Minear sets forth the heart of the early church's proclaimation and shows its enduring relevance for the modern church.

I pledge allegiance: Patriotism and the Bible

Geneva Press

In this major thematic work, senior scholar Paul Minear examines the Genesis motifs that are echoed in numerous parts of the New Testament. By doing so, Minear links the story of the old creation with the story of the new creation as he examines the language of beginnings--creation, fall, and curse--found in both testaments. Minear concludes that there is a need to reexamine the legacy of the old creation in order to understand and value the gift of the new creation.

Christians and the New Creation: Genesis Motifs in the New Testament

The Bible and the Historian: Breaking the Silence about God in Biblical Studies Paul S. Minear This book is Minear's clarion call for a return to authentic biblical theology. His message still is simple: biblical theology must pay attention to the emphases of the biblical writers. Contemporary biblical scholars, often best trained as historians, tend to dismiss those elements of the Bible most relevant to the faith of ancient and contemporary Christians.
