Zusammenfassung: | This study demonstrates the thematic coherence of the Adam and Christ story in Rom 5:12-21 with the story of Noah in Genesis 6-9 LXX. The Adam and Christ story in Romans 5:12-21 is characterized by motifs such as: (1) the "reign" of grace/death; (2) grace at work for the sake of many; and (3) the single act of one person who functions as a representative head. But where do these motifs come from and how do they hang together as Paul portrays them? The search for an underlying narrative or subtext has been called a “wild goose chase.” This study suggests that the likeliest source for Paul’s narrative theology in this section is the story of Noah and the ark as found in the Genesis 6-9 LXX. |
