| Summary: | Any serious enquiry into Paul’s view of the law must include lexical considerations regarding the meaning of νόμος (‘law’) itself. A general consensus has emerged that νόμος predominantly refers to Mosaic legislation. A few scholars, however, have suggested that νόμος should sometimes be taken as a synecdoche for the Mosaic covenant administration. This article attempts to substantiate the plausibility of that referent by appealing to precursors for it in the OT and intertestamental literature, examples of a few of Paul’s uses of νόμος, and linguistic considerations related to word choice. |
