| Summary: | Modern exegetes often suppose that the creation themes found in Rom 8,19-22 were informed by ancient Jewish apocalyptic writings.

Upon a closer inspection of the sources, however, it seems that if Rom 8,19-22 depends on the Jewish apocalyptic literature at all, then it is less likely, not more, that Paul endorsed a cosmic fall. |
