| 总结: | The now familiar "new perspective" asserts that the "covenantal nomism" characteristic of second-temple Judaism softened the Mosaic law's requirement of perfect obedience. Because of God's gracious covenant with Israel, manifested in election and the provision of atoning sacrifices, one could be righteous under the law despite occasional failures to obey the law perfectly. This view concludes that Paul, as a first-century Jew, could not have been troubled by the law's stringent demands, because it was generally understood that the gracious framework of the covenant provided a way of dealing with occasional lapses. Consequently, it is claimed, Paul's problem with the law must have to do with its misuse as a means of enforcing ethnic boundaries and excluding Gentile believers. |
