Kevin Carey has written a review of Douglas A. Campbell's epic book The Deliverance of God: an Apocalyptic Rereading of Justification in Paul, in which he calls it "the greatest work on the subject since the work Martin Luther never quite wrote". He goes on to say:
Campbell painstakingly constructs a Justification Theory which he then methodically destroys before passing on to show how that theory has disastrously affected the way in which we both deliberatively and sub-consciously ... read Paul's most difficult letter. His grand rereading depends upon the notion that the letter was not only supposed to be read aloud but to be performed as a dialogue between Paul and a Christianised (but not Christian Jewish) "Teacher" ... who is threatening Roman traditional Christian orthodoxy.
