Book Giveaway For The Faith Of Jesus Christ (Updated)

I find myself, accidentally, in possession of two copies of Michael F. Bird’s and Preston Sprinkle’s (eds.) very excellent The Faith of Jesus Christ: Exegetical, Biblical, and Theological Studies (Hendrickson, 2010).  I think this is a fantastic book as it covers a very significant topic, namely the pistis christou debate, and they have assembled the best NT scholars to contribute.

So – I would like to share the wealth by giving away one of my copies.  However, there is a catch – it is a contest.  Whoever wins (sorry, entries limited to the contiguous United States of America) will have this book at their front door within a fortnight.  But, if you live overseas and have relatives or someone in the US I can post the book to, that works as well.

Here’s the contest: in the comments, write up to 500 words that explain why you think the pistis Christou debate is so important to Pauline studies (or to another theological discipline if that suits you better).  Refrain from quoting other scholars and avoid plagiarism  – I want to see your own ideas.  Basically, I will judge which comment is the most interesting, cogent, and/or insightful and – voila! – free book in the mail.  I will give the contest 5 days to build up a few entires.  Then, the lucky winner will have her entry highlighted in a new post – yes, fame and fortune.

I will end the call for comments on Friday morning at 10AM EST (USA)

Good luck!
