The meaning of Paul's comments about the new creation in 2
Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 6:15 has long been obscured. Debate
has raged for years, with some arguing that the phrase "new
creation" solely refers to the inward transformation believers have
experienced through faith in Jesus Christ, and others that this
phrase should be understood cosmologically and linked with Isaiah's
"new heavens and new earth". Still more advocate an ecclesiological
interpretation of this phrase that centres Paul in the new
community formed around Jesus Christ. In As It Was in the
Beginning, Mark Owens argues that the concept of "new creation"
should be understood within the realm of Paul's anthropology,
cosmology, and ecclesiology. Paul's understanding of new creation
belongs within an Urzeit-Endzeit typological framework, especially
within 2 Corinthians 5-6 and Ephesians 1-2. Owens's reading of "new
creation" gives due weight to the use of Isaianic traditions in
Paul's letters, and to demonstrate that the vision of new creation
in 2 Corinthians and Galatians is in striking harmony with that of
Ephesians.
