Sanders: Jews always believed that salvation was by divine grace and mercy. paul created a straw man within Judaism to defeat
|
|
|
NP Dunn

NP Wright

Aquinas. Humans do not merit salvation insofar as they recieve the free grace of God by faith and have their nature transformed by the spirit.
|

Approaches Lutheran approach-Reformers

Humans do not merit savlation. They have God's righteousness substituted for them

Paul and Slavery
The only time that Paul directly addressed the issue of individual slave he all but demanded release Paul puts slave and master on equal footing before The Lord Christian slave and Christian master in same family Answerable to same Lord Public rennunciate of slaver would have given Rome ample fuel for persecution of Christians.

Peter
Author's self-description -Fellow elder -eyewitness of sufferings of Christ Similarities to speeches in Acts -Christ the stone of Psalm 118:22 -The cross is the wood Agruments against -1 Peter written in excellent greek -Too dependent on Pauline theolgoy -Letter does not show knowledge of life of Christ -No worldwide perseuction of Christians in Peter's life No writer early than Irenaus attributes letter to Peter -Designation of Rome as Babylon is post AD 70 Phenomenon What other reasonable solutions are possible for 1 1) Could have employed emanuensus 2) Peter wrote letter 30 years later. Dude leanred how to write Greek #2 Paul's theology was consistent with that of the apostles Early 60s, leading up to Nero persecution is possible (62-63) -No need for persecution to be worldwide, but it is a big deal in community |

Methods of Interpretation
|
Preterist
Historical Idealist Futurist |
|
|
Preterist
|
1) The prevailing intperpretation
2) Treats Revelation as a typical apocalypse (Enoch, Moses, Ezra, Baruch, etc) 3) Symbolic way of making sense of difficult times |
|
|
Historical
|
1) Favored by Reformers
2) Sees Revelation as a prophecy of events in the history of the Church especially Western Europe 3) Each of 7 churches represents a phase of church history |
|
|
Idealist
|
1) It's preteriest lite
2) Rev doesn't represent current events. It only depicts spiritual truths. God at work in the world, the triumph of good over evil, assurance of saints, etc |
|
|
Futurist
|
1) Doesn't discount a preterist application or an element of symbolism
2) Sees much of Rev as events future to the age 3) Sees element of literalness structure and chronology to Rev 4) Examples Dispensationalism (pre-trib) Historic Premillenialism (post-trib) Other views that focus on discontinuity (mid-trib) |
