Welcome to Genesis2Paul

Genesis2Paul is an ongoing research project exploring how Jesus, Paul, and the other biblical authors interpret Genesis, and how their inspired interpretation shapes Christian theology and life. This website currently contains four sets of studies.

.

Set 1. Preparing to Explore Genesis2Paul

>Click this link that goes to a page that summarises each of the 12 studies. Each summary will have a link to the full study, if you desire to read it in full. <

This foundational series of twelve studies introduces the interpretive principles that guide the Genesis2Paul project. Over the coming weeks I will add further exegetical studies on 1 Corinthians 11–14 and 1 Timothy. Also, there will be added miscellaneous Research insight studies. Readers will gain the most from these later studies if they begin here.

.

Set 2. Research insights in Reading Scripture Carefully.

These studies present research insights and case studies that arise during the Genesis2Paul research project. Each article may be read independently while illustrating the same commitment to allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture and to following the biblical authors’ own arguments carefully.

Set 2A. Research Notes

These Research Notes present significant research discoveries and methodological developments that arise during the Genesis2Paul project. Unlike the articles above in Set 2 and Set 1, they document the research process itself as key ideas are investigated and developed.
