| Summary: | This analysis of Rom. 8.14-30 argues that Paul was echoing specific texts from Israel's Scriptures as well as drawing on the intertextual space of Judaism in his discussion of God's action in Jesus Christ. By appealing specifically to the exodus tradition, Paul affirms God's faithfulness to Israel in these verses in a way that is consistent with his argument in Romans 9-11. In addition, he transforms the central Israelite motif of the exodus in such a way that it becomes the story of the whole people of God, the story of the whole of creation, and nothing less than the story of God's very self. |
