Paul's Ethnic Discourse on Faith: Christ's Faithfulness and Gentile Access to the Judean God in Romans 3:21-5:1*

| Summary: | In this article I pursue two interrelated goals. First, and more narrowly, I argue that the in Rom 5:1 plausibly refers to Christ's (conventionally translated as faith or faithfulness) and not to the of Christ followers; and certainly not to the of Christ followers that is specifically in Christ. To my knowledge no modern commentator identifies the in Rom 5:1 as Christ's own. Several scholars suggest it in passing, and one presents a partial argument turning on several claims of coherence with his broader reading of Paul. I offer a more thorough case for the plausibility of this suggestion, especially by demonstrating how my reading of Rom 5:1 makes sense as an encapsulation of Paul's emphases in Rom 3:21-4:25. |
