Brevard Childs here turns his sharp scholarly eye to the works of
the apostle Paul and makes an unusual argument: the New Testament
was canonically shaped, its formation a hermeneutical exercise in
which its anonymous apostles and postapostolic editors collected,
preserved, and theologically shaped the material in order for the
evangelical traditions to serve successive generations of
Christians. Childs contends that within the New Testament the
Pauline corpus stands as a unit bookended by Romans and the
Pastoral Epistles. He assigns an introductory role to Romans,
examining how it puts the contingencies of Paul's earlier letters
into context without sacrificing their particularity. At the other
end, the Pastoral Epistles serve as a concluding valorization of
Paul as the church's doctrinal model. By considering Paul's works
as a whole, Childs offers a way to gain a fuller understanding of
the individual letters.
