Christ and the Judgement of God The Limits of Divine Retribution in New Testament Thought Stephen H. Travis - U.S.A Hendrickson Publishers 2009 - 383tr. Paperback, Illustration 23 cm
In this scholarly study Stephen Travis examines the role of retribution in New Testament theologies of judgment. Travis's main thesis is that New Testament theologies of judgment are more fundamentally relational than retributive. He argues that while elements of retribution are present in each ""strand"" of the New Testament, they are remarkably infrequent, in view of their prominence in the Jewish and Greco Roman worlds. He argues that both in Paul and in the gospels one's relationship to God, through Christ, is the criterion of judgment
