The pistis Christou construction in Paul's letters has ignited
heated debates among Pauline scholars and theologians. On the one
side, some claim that the phrase denotes human faith placed in
Christ. Others, however, contend that pistis Christou in Paul
alludes to the faithfulness of Christ himself, with Christ's pistis
chiefly demonstrated in his willingness to suffer and die upon the
cross. Yet both sides of this debate overlook Paul's emphasis on
the faithfulness and continuing work of the risen and exalted
Christ. In The Faithfulness of the Risen Christ, David J. Downs and
Benjamin J. Lappenga focus upon the resurrection and exaltation of
Jesus in their discussion of pistis Christou. They claim that when
Paul writes of Christ's pistis, he refers to the faithfulness of
the risen and exalted Christ. Downs and Lappenga carefully survey
Paul's use of pistis in Philippians, the Corinthian letters,
Galatians, Romans, and Ephesians, revealing how pistis epitomizes
the risen Christ's continuing faithfulness toward all those who
participate in him by pistis. Downs and Lappenga effectively
reframe any future consideration of the pistis Christou
construction for both New Testament scholars and theologians by
showing that the story of Jesus in the letters of Paul extends to
the faithfulness of the exalted Christ Jesus, who will remain
faithful to those justified through union with Christ.
