{"product_id":"the-righteousness-of-god-charles-lee-irons-9783161535185","title":"The Righteousness of God: A Lexical Examination of the Covenant-Faithfulness Interpretation","description":"Advocates of the New Perspective on Paul appeal to the view that \"righteousness\" in biblical theology is a Verhaltnisbegriff (relational concept). This is the view that \"righteousness\" does not mean conformity to a norm, nor is it an essentially legal concept; rather, \"righteousness\" denotes the fulfillment of the demands of a relationship, since the relationship itself is the norm. This relational interpretation of \"righteousness\" was first put forward by Hermann Cremer in 1899 and exercised a profound influence in biblical scholarship throughout the 20th century. It lies at the root of the New Perspective claim that \"the righteousness of God\" in Paul is a cipher for God's saving faithfulness to his covenant, a view defended by N. T. Wright, among others. Charles Lee Irons provides a critical examination of Cremer's chief arguments for the relational, covenant-faithfulness interpretation. The author argues instead for the view that \"the righteousness of God\" in Rom 1:17; 3: 21-22; 10:3; 2 Cor 5:21; and Phil 3:9 is the status of righteousness that comes from God as a gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Lee Irons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3161535189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783161535185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohr Siebeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Charles Lee Irons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940761698559,"sku":"9783161535185","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_44e50406-4cb7-4d53-9547-e5feec366833.jpg?v=1681449038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-righteousness-of-god-charles-lee-irons-9783161535185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
