In contrast to common opinion, Roger David Aus explores the
positive aspects of the Apostle Paul's use of the image of
'triumphing' in Second Corinthians 2:14. Through detailed analysis
of both Greco-Roman and Judaic texts, this exciting new work
completely revises recent interpretations of this decisive passage.
Aus illuminates it with expert precision and identifies the roots
of imagery such as the 'triumphal procession in Christ,' 'fragrance
of the knowledge of him,' and the 'aroma of Christ.' The origin of
these and other images in verses 14-17 is found in both the Roman
custom of a victorious general's leading a triumphal procession
through the city of Rome, and in Judaic interpretation of the
famous rebellion of Numbers 17:6-15 (English 16:41-50). With great
skill, Aus demonstrates here how the Hellenistic Jewish Christian
Paul masterfully combines imagery from both Greco-Roman and Judaic
sources.
