Description

In this thought-provoking study, Dan Lioy asserts that a Christocentric and Christotelic perspective is an unmistakable feature of Paul�s discourse. The journey begins with an analysis of the old Adamic creation in Genesis 1�3 before digressing into representative passages from Paul�s writings, touching on such themes as new creation theology, the apostle�s apocalyptic interpretation of reality, and his theology of the cross. Then Lioy examines the influence of the Old Testament on Paul�s Christological outlook, how the apostle viewed Satan operating as the counterfeit word, and the way in which the writings of Paul correlate with the letter from James, leading into a deliberation that Paul, rather than Christ, is to be seen as a new or second Moses. Contrast is then provided regarding the historical authenticity of the Adam character in Paul�s discourse, along with the Genesis creation narratives. ISBN 9781433134234
