In Matt Wilcoxen’s absence, Andrew Errington & Matthew Mason explore John M. G. Barklay’s Does the Gospel Require Self-Sacrifice? Paul and the Reconfiguration of the Self, (Studies in Christian Ethics, Vol 36, Issue 1, February 2023) in which he challenges the notion that ‘exclusive altruism’ or total self-sacrifice is the lens through which we are to understand Christian ethics. He explores the various passages of Philippians which often are used toward seeing Christian love through this lens.
