Bruce's Griffith Thomas Lectures, given at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, in November 1982 and published in revised form as a monograph of the Religious and Theological Students Fellowship. The preface says the theme came from the last sentence of his Paul: Apostle of the Free Spirit, that in his insight into the mind of Christ Paul remains unsurpassed. After an introduction, four chapters take Paul's claim 'we have the mind of Christ', Paul's knowledge of Christ, faith working through love, and good news for outsiders.
