Description

At a crucial juncture in his argument and in the space of two verses Paul uses four terms related to the πιστ- word-group, usually rendered as “faith” or “belief.” Background and the context of Romans favor hearing the ideas of “loyalty” and “faithfulness” in v. 3. Dr. Bates, who has been on this podcast before, is Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. Among his several publications are Beyond the Salvation Wars: Why Both Protestants and Catholics Must Reimagine How We Are Saved and Salvation by Allegiance Alone.
