Rom 3-5 - The Good News

We give a brief report of our experience at the Evangelical Theological Society conference in Baltimore last week, where we had dozens of great interactions with the attendees there. While there, I found a couple of very helpful books which explain what the New Perspective on Paul is all about. Then we get back into our study of Romans 3-5. In the previous session we looked at the bad news of all mankind (both Jew and Gentile) being under condemnation. This time we focus on the good news of justification by grace through faith in Christ for both Jew and Gentile. One of the benefits of that justification was the HOPE of seeing the Glory of God revealed to them at the Parousia. We note also that the idea of a collective body being resurrected out of covenantally dead Judaism does not seem to be involved (or even mentioned) here in the first five chapters of Romans, suggesting that it is probably not found in chapters 6-11 either.
