  • Summary

    This chapter places the notion of “pistis Christou” in the context of three major contemporary exegetical proposals regarding the shape of the Pauline narrative: “pistis Christou” as the faithfulness of the resurrected and ascended Christ (David J. Downs and Benjamin Lappenga), Christ’s coming as the end of exile and the return of Israel’s God to the people (N. T. Wright), and the idea of Christ as the embodiment of Isaiah’s suffering servant (Richard Bauckham). The chapter argues that these combined proposals offer a lens through which to interpret “pistis Christou” as the human expression of the Lord’s faithfulness to his people.
