As is well known, Romans is filled with soteriological statements for believers. To understand the jewels, above all, Paul’s eschatological thought should be revealed. As a Jew, he possessed the thought of two eras: the old one and the new one. Notably, his eschatology is quite different from Jewish thought. There was a clear separation between the old era and the new one in Jewish eschatological thought; any evil cannot exist in the new one. For Paul, however, the new era was inaugurated by Christ’s coming, and his death and resurrection. The leavings of the previous era still left behind. In a technical sense, the two eras coexist in Paul’s eschatology. Even though the new era has arrived, believers in the era need Paul’s exhortations to lead to living lives proper to the era. They still face fleshly desire. The challenge for them is realistic and existential. Paul’s eschatological thought draws the frame the “already but not yet” that is made up of statements in Indicative and exhortations in Imperative. In this study, I disclose Paul’s eschatological thought in Romans: the new era inaugurated by the crucified and risen Christ, and the previous one, and the overlapping age that the old one and the new one coexists. I exegetically approach to 6:1-14, which concentrates on Paul’s eschatology in Romans. For this, above all, I explore the present state of believers transferred to the new era. Paul highlights that they were separated from sin as a power. Second, I examine that they were transferred to the new realm by baptism/faith brought about their union with Christ. They participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. Third, I investigate the identity of believers in the new realm. Paul maintains that they do not have old self and are united with the crucified and risen Christ. Fourth and last, I fathom that even though they belong to the new era, not the old one, the leftovers of the old one challenge them. For this reason, Paul continuously exhorts them to live as the people of the new era in the situation of overlapping of the old one and the new one. By doing this, consequentially, I reveal Paul eschatological thought concentrated in 6:1-14 and the eschatological situation believers in the overlapping age of the two eras.
Abstract
As is well known, Romans is filled with soteriological statements for believers. To understand the jewels, above all, Paul’s eschatological thought should be revealed. As a Jew, he possessed the thought of two eras: the old one and the new one. Notably, his eschatology is quite different from Jewish thought. There was a clear separation between the old era and the new one in Jewish eschatological thought; any evil cannot exist in the new one. For Paul, however, the new era was inaugurated by Christ’s coming, and his death and resurrection. The leavings of the previous era still left behind. In a technical sense, the two eras coexist in Paul’s eschatology. Even though the new era has arrived, believers in the era need Paul’s exhortations to lead to living lives proper to the era. They still face fleshly desire. The challenge for them is realistic and existential. Paul’s eschatological thought draws the frame the “already but not yet” that is made up of statements in Indicative and exhortations in Imperative. In this study, I disclose Paul’s eschatological thought in Romans: the new era inaugurated by the crucified and risen Christ, and the previous one, and the overlapping age that the old one and the new one coexists. I exegetically approach to 6:1-14, which concentrates on Paul’s eschatology in Romans. For this, above all, I explore the present state of believers transferred to the new era. Paul highlights that they were separated from sin as a power. Second, I examine that they were transferred to the new realm by baptism/faith brought about their union with Christ. They participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. Third, I investigate the identity of believers in the new realm. Paul maintains that they do not have old self and are united with the crucified and risen Christ. Fourth and last, I fathom that even though they belong to the new era, not the old one, the leftovers of the old one challenge them. For this reason, Paul continuously exhorts them to live as the people of the new era in the situation of overlapping of the old one and the new one. By doing this, consequentially, I reveal Paul eschatological thought concentrated in 6:1-14 and the eschatological situation believers in the overlapping age of the two eras.
