Paul's Letter to the Romans, the Ten Commandments, and Pagan “Justification by Faith”
2014
Overview
E. P. Sanders'sPaul and Palestinian Judaism(1977) challenged the utility of the phrase “justification by faith” as a key to anything other than Lutheran scholarship. This note argues that the phrase does offer us insight into the historical Paul, provided we interpret it within its native context, an apocalyptic stream of first-century Hellenistic Judaism that took its message to pagans. Noting thatdikaiosynēfunctioned commonly as a code for the Second Table of the Law, and thatpistisin the first century meant not “belief ” or “faith” but “conviction, steadfastness, loyalty,” the argument concludes that the pagans'dikaōthentes ek pisteōsindicates these people's pneumatically granted ability to act toward one another in community according to the dictates of the Ten Commandments.
