This book investigates the "divine son" motif in Romans 5 and 8
through the lens of exile and restoration. David P. Barry presents
a pattern of allusions to Israel and Adam and argues that Paul
deliberately employs both themes to show their fulfillment in
Christ. Both Adam's exclusion from Eden and Israel's exile from
Palestine are, for Paul, a divine son falling short of God's
holiness and forfeiting the divine inheritance and presence. The
themes of Adam and Israel are complementary examples of sin and
separation from God, which Paul argues are reversed in Christ and
for believers in union with him. This theme of "divine sons"
provides a framework for interpreting Paul's use of restoration
prophecies in Romans 5 and 8. Various references to restoration
prophecies (e.g., Ezek 36:22-37:14 in Rom 8:1-11) which were
apparently given to ethnic Israel, are applied more broadly. The
scope of fulfillment goes beyond its the ethnic boundary to include
the spiritual children of Abraham: Jew and Gentile. Barry concludes
that the exile is over in spirit, but continues in body. The new
people of God are already spiritually restored to God's presence by
faith and will be bodily brought into God's presence in glory.
