The apostle Paul affirms in several places that there is only one
God. Yet in the same letters Paul also gives praise to the Lord
Jesus Christ, often using language similar to his descriptions of
God. How can this self-avowed Hebrew of Hebrews reconcile these
ideas? This book explores the strongest one-God statements in
Paul's undisputed letters and asks how Paul's Jewish monotheistic
understanding informs his overall argument. These three texts -
Corinthians 8:6, Galatians 3:20, and Romans 3:30 - occur in very
different contexts and address different issues. By looking at the
historical, cultural, and grammatical contexts of these passages,
as well as Paul's language about God and Christ elsewhere in these
letters, Dr. Nicholson argues that Paul's understanding of the one
God is not static or perfunctory; rather, it is dynamic and
flexible, influencing significant aspects of Paul's Gospel message.
Paul's ethics, his view of salvation history, and his soteriology
are fundamentally shaped by his understanding of the one God of
Israel.
Based on the author's thesis (Ph.D.)--Durham University, 2007.
