Human idolatry and Paul as faithful worshipper of God

Rom 1:18-32 has been studied from a variety of angles, especially as it sets forth the sinful decline of people who refused to acknowledge and worship God that will be the backdrop against which the restorative Gospel of Christ will be presented throughout the rest of the letter. However, in the att...

520 |a Rom 1:18-32 has been studied from a variety of angles, especially as it sets forth the sinful decline of people who refused to acknowledge and worship God that will be the backdrop against which the restorative Gospel of Christ will be presented throughout the rest of the letter. However, in the attempt to trace Paul's argument forward in the letter, Rom 1:18-32 is rarely viewed in light of the thanksgiving section that appears beforehand (1:8-15). In this article, we will underscore, not only the fruitfulness of reading Rom 1:18-32 forwards, but also backwards, examining how the tragedy of human idolatry not only introduces the theological problem that Paul wishes to address through the Gospel, but also how reading it along with what comes before naturally sets up Paul as the paradigmatic faithful worshipper and the exact opposite of the characterization of the human idolaters. We will also pursue the rhetorical value of making such a contrast.
