I include these verses just as prime examples of 'justification by faith apart from works' texts. I don't intend in these blog posts to get into the exegesis too much, but just to attempt a basic high level synthesis of justification in Paul, which will of course be my own interpretive construct (only slightly influenced by Tom Wright :) )Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603647241987964066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209345.post-50347050694330541182009-11-28T22:01:31.027+00:002009-11-28T22:01:31.027+00:00How much should we use Paul's concept to inter...How much should we use Paul's concept to interpret individual verses? Some verses, as you know, refer to present justification and others to future. This concept, not that i disagree with it (far from it!), is a construct of the mind of the interpreter and I guess can sometimes cause us to over exegete a passage...
