Book Synopsis God, Grace, and Righteousness in Wisdom of Solomon and Paul's Letter to the Romans by : Jonathan A. Linebaugh
Download or read book God, Grace, and Righteousness in Wisdom of Solomon and Paul's Letter to the Romans written by Jonathan A. Linebaugh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In God, Grace, and Righteousness in Wisdom of Solomon and Paul's Letter to the Romans, Jonathan A. Linebaugh places the Wisdom of Solomon and the Letter to the Romans in conversation. Both texts discuss the relationship of Jew and Gentile, the meaning of God's grace and righteousness, and offer readings of Israel's scripture. These shared themes provide talking-points, initiating a dialogue on anthropology, soteriology, and hermeneutics. By listening in on this conversation, Linebaugh demonstrates that while these texts have much in common, the theologies they articulate are ultimately incommensurable because they think from different events - Wisdom from the pre-creational order crafted by Sophia and exemplified in the Exodus; Paul from the incongruous gift of Christ which justifies the ungodly.
Book Synopsis The Word of the Cross by : Jonathan A. Linebaugh
Download or read book The Word of the Cross written by Jonathan A. Linebaugh and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of exegetical, historical, and theological essays on Paul’s letters, including reception history and comparative readings in conversation with other texts. This collection of Jonathan Linebaugh’s most important work on Paul explores the merciful surprise at the heart of Paul’s gospel: a grace that, while strange and weak in worldly terms, is nothing less than the power of God, full of comfort and promise. Through twelve essays—two of them new—Linebaugh contextualizes and interprets key Pauline passages, does comparative readings of Paul in conversation with early Jewish texts, and enters into dialogue with Reformation theologians such as Martin Luther and Thomas Cranmer. Thorough and multifaceted, Linebaugh’s work is at once exegetical, historical, and theological in scope. Accordingly, The Word of the Cross is a rigorous scholarly enterprise that takes seriously Paul’s claim that the good news of Jesus Christ, despite appearing scandalous and foolish, in fact contradicts and overcomes the conditions of the possible through the power of God.
Book Synopsis Grace Revealed by : Robert P. Vande Kappelle
Download or read book Grace Revealed written by Robert P. Vande Kappelle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of Christianity and at the center of the New Testament lies the epistle to the Romans, the most groundbreaking letter ever written. The author is Paul, an early convert from Judaism and the greatest early figure in the development and spread of Christianity. Romans contains his most cogent and compelling presentation of Christian faith and practice. The author takes logic and argument, poetry and imagination, scripture and prayer, history and experience, and weaves them into a letter that has become the premier document of Christian theology. The importance of Romans for Christian tradition is incalculable. Each generation of believers has found inspiration, relevance, and transforming power in this letter. To read Romans is to confront one's faith at its source. In Romans, Paul deals with problems as contemporary as today's headlines: divisions and sectarianism in society; fixation with violence; discrimination, prejudice, and inequality; social injustice; the destiny of the Jewish people; the role of the individual in the total sweep of history; the responsibilities of citizens to their government; and the morality of actions in which adults engage, sexual and otherwise. Grace is pervasive in Romans, present in every theme. As expected, it is evident in Christ's life and death, in God's righteousness (God's faithfulness and righteous justice), in justification, predestination, election, and saving faith; but grace is also present in Mosaic law and perhaps most surprisingly, in God's judgment and wrath. If grace can be said to underlie the Christian gospel and to embody the biblical portrayal of God's identity and activity, what does the word "grace" mean, and what is its transformative power? The answers are explored in Grace Revealed.
Book Synopsis Paul's Letter to the Romans by : Dr. Nathan Ogan
Download or read book Paul's Letter to the Romans written by Dr. Nathan Ogan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been said that, ?an historian making a list of the factors most influential in the development of west-ern civilization would do well to include Paul's Epistle to the Romans along with the invention of gun powder, the rise of nationalism, and the discov-ery of atomic energy.? While in today's secularized society, few would likely agree to the above assess-ment. In terms of legitimate historical impact, the importance of Paul's Romans letter can't be over-stated. From the Church Fathers to Augustine and Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin, the influence of this ancient correspondence is remarka-ble. As recent as Karl Barth's commentary in the 19th century, humanity's most significant conversa-tions have tended to touch on the ideas and wisdom of the Apostle Paul. A man who was less original in his thought than an elaborator on what he had learned from Jesus and His disciples.

In Shades of Grace, the first in his New Kingdom series, pastor and author Marc Simon offers both an original translation of Paul’s letter to the Romans, as well as a fresh commentary on the letter itself. His spirited approach to the Pauline corpus conveys both the depth and simplicity of Paul’s writing, and combines the author’s careful scholarship and spiritual insight with lucid commentary, background information, and explanatory notes on key terms used by Paul in his letters. The introduction to the commentary highlights the authorship, occasion, purpose, and contents of Romans, as well as Paul’s unique understanding of Israel’s God as the Father, Lord, and Spirit of creation. The author follows the introduction with a verse-by-verse exposition of the text, which is at once accessible to scholars, pastors, and students alike.

Book Synopsis Paul’s Use of the Old Testament in Romans 9:19-24 by : Brian J. Abasciano
Download or read book Paul’s Use of the Old Testament in Romans 9:19-24 written by Brian J. Abasciano and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Abasciano continues his project examining the use of the Old Testament in Romans 9, building upon his previous two volumes and their intertextual methodology. This method incorporates into a thorough traditional exegesis a comprehensive analysis of Paul's use of Scripture against the background of interpretive traditions surrounding the texts alluded to, with great emphasis placed on analyzing the original contexts of Paul's citations and allusions. Such an intertextual exegesis is conducted in Romans 9:19-24 with an awareness of the broader unit of chapters 9-11 especially, and also the epistle as a whole. Conclusions for the meaning of these passages and their theological significance are drawn.
Book Synopsis Uncovering the Theme of Revelation in Romans 1:16-3:26 by : Marcus A. Mininger
Download or read book Uncovering the Theme of Revelation in Romans 1:16-3:26 written by Marcus A. Mininger and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Past study of Rom 1:16-3:26 focuses on individual salvation or on social relations and also produces a host of interpretative quandaries. Marcus A. Mininger develops a new approach, which includes but goes beyond these foci, by unearthing the theme of revelation that runs throughout Paul's argument largely unnoticed. More than a proof of sin or of social equality, Paul provides a survey of numerous visible revelations, in which otherwise invisible realities like God's wrath, the power of sin, and God's righteousness are seen through the observable effects they produce in different people. Read this way, the rationale of Paul's argument becomes quite clear, including for "problem texts" like Rom 2 and 3:1-8, as Paul proves that the gospel, not the law, overcomes sin's power and that God's righteousness always exists in contrast to the human condition in this age."--!

Following the narrative progression of Romans, each chapter pairs a major unit of the letter with one or more thematically related Jewish text, introduces and explores the theological nuances of the comparative text, and shows how these ideas illuminate our understanding of the book of Romans.
