Description: Brondos looks to the recent advances in New Testament scholarship to argue for an alternative understanding of Paul's teaching. As he shows, Paul understood Jesus' death primarily as the consequence of his mission: to serve as God's instrument to bring about the long-awaited redemption of Israel, in which Gentiles throughout the world would also be included. For Paul, Jesus' death is salvific not because it satisfies some necessary condition for human salvation (as most doctrines of the atonement have traditionally maintained), nor because it effects some change in the situation of human beings or the world in general. Rather, God responded to Jesus' faithfulness unto death by raising him, thereby ensuring that all the divine promises of salvation would be fulfilled through him.
