The Spirit and the Letter: A Tradition and a Reversal
Fiddes Paul S.
The statement of Paul that 'letter kills but the spirit gives life' has had an extraordinary impact on Christian thought. It is, however, an ambiguous phrase, followed by a tangled story. This book explores the Pauline distinction in its original context and in its aftermath in the early church, the Reformation and the modern era.
