| Summary: | The meaning of the Pauline pi/stij Xristou= is the subject of much discussion. Is the genitive here objective: "faith of Christ" or subjective: "the pi/stij of Christ"? In the latter interpretation the problem is the meaning of pi/stij. "The faith of Christ" comes up against the fact that the act of believing is never ascribed by Paul to Christ, nor is it ascribed to him elsewhere in the New Testament. The "faithfulness of Christ" avoids this objection but is a weak alternative. The fact that pi/stij also has the meaning of "credibility" or "trustworthiness", is sometimes overlooked. This is the meaning which suits some texts because the "trustworthiness" of Christ is what makes the Christian’s "faith" possible. |
