In Christ Died for Our Sins, Jarvis J. Williams argues a twofold
thesis: First, that Paul in Romans presents Jesus' death as both a
representation of, and a substitute for, Jews and Gentiles. Second,
that the Jewish martyrological narratives in certain Second Temple
Jewish texts are a background behind Paul's presentation of Jesus'
death. By means of careful textual analysis, Williams argues that
the Jewish martyrological narratives appropriated and applied
Levitical cultic language and Isaianic language to the deaths of
the Torah-observant Jewish martyrs in order to present their deaths
as a representation, a substitution, and as Israel's Yom Kippur for
non-Torah-observant Jews. Williams seeks to show that Paul
appropriated and applied this same language and conceptuality in
order to present Jesus' death as the death of a Torah-observant Jew
serving as a representation, a substitution, and as the Yom Kippur
for both Jews and Gentiles. Scholars working in the areas of
Romans, Pauline theology, Second Temple Judaism, atonement in Paul,
or early Christian origins will find much to stimulate and provoke
in these pages.
