Misconduct and Sickness
First Corinthians 11.30 voices divine punishment or judgment on misbehaviour at the Lord’s table in terms of weakness, sickness and death. Are these metaphorical or physical descriptions? The text is seen as an example of the notion of reciprocity between human misconduct and divine judgment in relevant sources, which in most cases is not metaphorical. Paul also draws on this notion in other passages. Divine judgment is pronounced in this text as…
Ethnic Differentiations in Sin? Mapping Jewish Sin in Romans
Are gentile and Jewish sin in Romans differentiated, so that chs. 9–11 are set apart from how Paul speaks of sin earlier in the epistle? Stephen L. Young has argued just that, and this article critically addresses his position, which is exaggerated and overlooks the textual habitat of the scriptural evidence used in Rom. 9–11. Cognitive sins are found among both gentiles and Jews. Paul’s eschatological framework enhances moral decline in general …
Judgment According to Works – A “Gracious” Act? Looking Anew at 1 Corinthians 3,10–17
This paper addresses the judgment discourse in 1 Cor 3 with an emphasis on how to understand vv. 15–17. A suggestion made by Peter Stuhlmacher is developed further and elaborated. Although 1 Cor 3 speaks about leaders in the Corinthian church, it moves beyond them and formulates a theology on divine judgment. The passage assumes a judgment or punishment “preceding” the final judgment. Paul conceives of the first as a limited punishment aimed at p…
Reading Romans 4 Backwards
This article argues that the different aspects at play in Rom 4 come together to depict Abraham as a paradigm, mirrored in both the Isaac story and in Ps 31 LXX. Abraham is not only an example of faith but also of how God justifies sinners. Abraham was ungodly, a trait that Paul develops in line with Rom 1,18–3,20 on universal sinfulness. The birth story of Isaac, his physical σπέρμα, illustrates how God makes the impossible possible and how the …
The Grammars of the Empty Tomb
In his book, Grammars of Resurrection (Robinette 2009: 7), Brian D. Robinette uses ‘grammar’ as that term refers to the resurrection of Jesus as providing ‘the framework and ambience for all Christian discourse and imagination’. In this article, I adopt his use of ‘grammars’ with reference to the empty tomb. Grammar is the substructural level of language providing structure, meaning and system to language. So, the question to be addressed here is…
Paul Perceived
Karl Olav Sandnes uncovers the first interpretation of Pauls view on Torah. He provides a critical view, focusing on Paul citing and interacting with how others perceived of his theology. Punitive actions taken against Paul by synagogues are also included.
Paul Perceived
An epicenter in present-day Pauline scholarship is the issue of the Law. The interpretation of this contentious issue started before Paul's letters and found its way into them by his citing how others perceived of his theology, and in Paul rendering rumors and criticism, and also interacting with them. To this reception-oriented perspective belong also punitive actions taken against Paul by synagogues. As a reception of Paul, Acts is included, le…
Early Christian Prayer and Identity Formation
The contributors of this volume address the question of identity among Christ-believers from the viewpoint of prayer. Prayer brings into the discussion several dimensions that make up religious identity. It is attested rather early that prayer was theology performed, and thus intertwined with emerging theologies. Furthermore, prayer was Christocentric in orientation and focus. As of yet, these aspects have not received due attention in scholarly …

Christian Baptism As Seen by Outsiders
How did ancient pagan intellectuals look upon Christian baptism? The aim of the present article is to provide such an outsider's perspective. This serves a double purpose: to depict pagan critique of Christian faith and baptism in particular, but also to see if this critique in any way mirrors contemporary baptismal theology and practice. Julian the Emperor has two texts wherein baptism is addressed at some length. The claim that sins and mischie…
