Library of New Testament Studies Beyond Continuity and Discontinuity: The Apocalyptic Paul in Galatians, (Hardcover)

<p><b>Jared Neusch offers a fresh reading of Paul's theology, particularly concerning <i>pistis</i>, time, and his rereading of the Scriptures, arguing that the opposition between salvation history and apocalyptic, continuity and discontinuity imposes misleading frameworks on Paul's thought.</b> Drawing on Relevance Theory for semantic analysis and engaging with key voices in Pauline scholarship, Neusch critiques prevailing temporal assumptions and proposes Relationalism as a useful temporal framework that more accurately accounts for Paul's apocalyptic epistemology. </p><p>Neusch thus focuses on Galatians 3, making a critical argument regarding Abraham, Christ, and <i>pistis</i>. With a defining of the much-contested term "apocalyptic," a challenging of the controlling continuity vs. discontinuity paradigm, the introduction of Relationalism as a new way forward for considering time in Paul, and finally, a rereading of <i>pistis </i>(and thus Abraham), Neusch provides a fresh reading of Paul in Galatians, unconstrained by binary paradigms, that sufficiently accounts for the impact of the revelation of Christ in Paul.</p>
