Paul and Union with Christ fills the gap for biblical scholars, theologians, and pastors pondering and debating the meaning of union with Christ. Following a selective survey of the scholarly work on union with Christ through the twentieth century to the present day, Greek scholar Constantine Campbell carefully examines every occurrence of the phrases 'in Christ', 'with Christ', 'through Christ', 'into Christ,' and other related expressions, exegeting each passage in context and taking into account the unique lexical contribution of each Greek preposition. Campbell then builds a holistic portrayal of Paul's thinking and engages contemporary theological discussions about union with Christ by employing his evidence-based understanding of the theme. This volume combines high-level scholarship and a concern for practical application of a topic currently debated in the academy and the church. More than a monograph, this book is a helpful reference tool for students, scholars, and pastors to consult its treatment of any particular instance of any phrase or metaphor that relates to union with Christ in the Pauline corpus.

Campbell then pursues a theological study, that is, the significance of union with Christ as it relates to the work of Christ, the Trinity, Christian ethics, justification, and defines it as participation with, identification, and incorporation into Christ. He even considers union with Christ in relation to eschatology. Campbell closes his exhaustive study making suggestions and directions for future study and research discussing the importance and structure of Paul's theology as it relates to union with Christ.
This is a necessary read for anyone considering a serious study on the topic of union with Christ in the thought of Paul the apostle. Since Campbell, apparently, minutely goes through every verse in Paul's writings on the issue, I contend it should be the first book before any other books relating to a study of union with Christ.
