| Summary: | In the second part of the chapter the possible connections between the Pauline text and the Flood tradition are treated. It is shown that all of the motifs, which usually cause the exegetes problems, can be explained from the background of the Flood tradition. Paul uses elements from the Flood tradition when he speaks of the new world. Thus the Flood tradition supplies an universal and apocalyptic perspective to the exposition in Rom 8:18-27 and the text thereby fits well into the general outline of Romans as Paul's discussion of the relation between Jews and Gentiles in the Church. |
