Pauline Epistles Essays in Honor of DOUGLAS J. MOO
I offer this essay in honor of Doug Moo to tease out how Paul links the "already" aspects of the new creation with the "not yet" aspects by focusing on Rom 5:17: "For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!" Many exegetes associate "will . . . reign in life" (Rom 5:17) with the believer's yet future dominion over creation that is set free and renewed (8:18-25). This essay proposes that "will . . . reign in life" refers instead to the reign that Paul elaborates on in Romans 6. It is the believer's present dominion over sin in these mortal bodies. Through his death and resurrection, Christ, whom Adam foreshadowed, reverses the first man's abdication of dominion over sin to sin's reign and to death's tyranny so that everyone who receives God's provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness through Christ Jesus is no longer under sin's reign but already reigns in life.
The Pastoral Epistles. Authentic Pauline Writings
European Journal of Theology, 2008
The Pastoral Epistles are mostly assumed to be inauthentic letters. That is, few scholars believe these letters to be genuinely Pauline, however, not many of those commentators who reject the authenticity of the PE take the trouble to investigate the arguments. However, the arguments against authenticity are not solid. This article presents an * * * * ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Oft wird angenommen, die Pastoralbriefe seien nicht authentisch.

Issues in the Non-Pauline Letters
In the Non-Pauline letters in the New Testament insights can be gained from the foundational leaders of the early Church including James, Peter and John. The Non-Pauline letters also include the books of Jude and Hebrews to complete the collection. As in the Pauline letters each of these letters by these other authors deal with issues and concerns based on the church or community to which they were sent. This paper will highlight an issue from each of the Non-Pauline letters and show how the writer addresses the issue, and the paper will conclude with a brief comparison of the issues of the non-Pauline letters with those of the Pauline letters.
Religions, 2024
The scope and purpose of this edited anthology is to highlight the current trends and methods for interpreting Paul’s letter to the Philippian Christ followers, understanding the letter’s aim(s), methods, recipients, and theological impact. Paul is an adept epistle writer, with his corpus reflecting rhetorical sophistication, pastoral sensitivity, missional zeal, and theological power, all of which are on display in his short letter to the Philippian saints. As a shorter Pauline epistle—often assumed to be merely a “warm, friendly, joy-filled letter” in the commentary tradition—Philippians has historically been underappreciated and misunderstood in biblical studies. However, recent scholarship has corrected some of this neglect and misunderstanding, and this Special Issue seeks to present the latest insights emerging therefrom. Philippians, far from being a minor member of the Corpus Paulinum, serves as a powerful monument to Paul’s overall and mature theological, Christological, and pastoral vision.
Insights from Barclay, Paul and the Gift, Applied to the Shorter Pauline Letters
Horizons in Biblical Theology, 2019
This orientation essay provides an overview of the four other articles in this special section on J. M. G. Barclay’s, Paul and the Gift (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2015). After introducing key ideas from Barclay’s work, which focuses on Paul’s letters to the Galatians and Romans, we summarize three studies in which scholars employ Barclay’s method to examine some of the shorter Pauline letters. Wendell L. Willis discusses Philippians; Jerry L. Sumney discusses 2 Thessalonians; and Margaret Y. MacDonald discusses Ephesians. This special section also includes Barclay’s responses to all three. In addition, we explain how this collection of essays originated in the work of the Disputed Paulines Section of the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature.
Paul’s theology of the anti Christ as is elucidated in the book of Acts deserves to be studied. The language and the use of the language warrants our study. The reformers had a different view of whom the anti Christ is. The counter reformers presented a casuistic and a philosophical view. The protestant-evangelical world of the embraced dispensetionalism theology. Hence it has been a topic of hot debate among the theologians, what Paul really meant and what is the correct way of identifying the man of sin. Schaff writes that Thessoloniki “...was visited by Paul on his second missionary tour, a.d. 52 or 53, and in a few weeks he succeeded, amid much persecution, in founding a flourishing church composed chiefly of Gentiles”.
