This volume is intended to offer a substantial new contribution to the burgeoning

discussion of union with Christ in the theology and writings of the

Apostle Paul. Several scholarly works related to the theme of union with

Christ have recently appeared, such as those by Gorman, Campbell, and

Macaskill, yet none of those authors would claim to have said all there is

to say about the theme – in fact, their essays in this volume are testament

to the fact. Rather than concluding the conversation with final solutions,

recent contributions have provided a fertile basis on which more exploration

is possible through a variety of trajectories.

Appropriately then, the subtitle of this volume reveals its general nature:

it consists of a series of explorations in Paul’s theology of union and

participation. We do not claim that this contribution, therefore, is the one

to conclude the conversation either. It is exploratory; it is multifaceted and

multidisciplinary; and it is but one more conversation piece for consideration

within the guild.

An excellent cast has been assembled for this production, with each participant

offering distinct insights. It will become clear that there is no

overarching unity to the essays in the sense that the authors all agree with

each other on everything. That is certainly not the case. But for such an

exploratory volume, we have not attempted to achieve a fully coherent

presentation with all the kinks ironed out. Nevertheless, we trust the variety

of voices, topics, and approaches will offer their own rewards to the audience.

The editors offer thanks to each contributor for their investment of

expertise, time, and energy.

We are indebted to our production crew, Kenny Clewett, Dan Cole, and

Paul Maxwell, for their many hours of hard labour in helping to prepare

the manuscript. Kevin and I particularly wish to thank our fellow editor,

Mike Thate, for his tireless efforts in producing the volume. He dreamed

up the project in the first place, recruited our contributors, and did a substantial

amount of the editorial work. Finally, we thank Mohr Siebeck for

their enthusiasm for the project. It is good to know there will always be a

theatre for productions such as this.
