| Summary: | This book is a sharply focused enquiry into the meaning of the phrase καινὴ κτίσις in 2 Cor. 5:17 and Gal. 6:15. Hubbard defends an anthropological interpretation of the expression, seeing it as referring primarily to the conversion and transformation of the individual, over against the soterio-cosmological interpretation, which takes it as a reference to the advent of a new world or new age. While the latter has found favour among recent exegetes (this reviewer included), the anthropological reading, Hubbard points out, was consistently the dominant view from patristic times until the middle of the twentieth century. The ascendancy of the soterio-cosmological reading in the post-Second World War era reflects the rise of the apocalyptic interpretation of Paul. |
