Given the foundational importance of circumcision in the Old
Testament and its prevalence in numerous debates in the New
Testament, it is surprising that so little detailed work has been
done on establishing a biblical theology of circumcision. This lack
is even more surprising given that circumcision forms the
background for some of the most hotly contested writings of the
apostle Paul. The situation is complicated by the fact that the
biblical material on circumcision seems to present often quite
different and even apparently contradictory pictures of what
circumcision means. Two of the key biblical concepts which are
closely linked to circumcision in the debates carried on in Paul's
letters and the early church are righteousness and faith. In this
NSBT volume, Karl Deenick shows that these two concepts are central
to both the New Testament understanding and the developing Old
Testament understanding of circumcision. They are held together by
the unfolding promise of a blameless "seed of Abraham," Jesus
Christ, through whose sacrifice the promised righteousness will
finally come--a righteousness which will be enjoyed by those whose
hearts are circumcised, who trust in God's promise. Addressing key
issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in
Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better
understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson,
aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with
current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
