Paul’s appeals to Genesis arise within particular historical and pastoral situations, but they also express enduring theological convictions. This study explains why the historical occasion and the theology of Genesis must be understood together.
How does Paul’s teaching about creation relate to his vision of the new creation in Christ? This study explores how Paul’s repeated appeal to Genesis ultimately finds its fulfilment in Christ, the last Adam, and the new humanity God is creating through the gospel.
Paul does not appeal merely to creation as an abstract idea but to the developing story of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2–3. This study explains why that appeal belongs to Paul’s wider theology of creation rather than functioning as a convenient illustration.
Are modern discussions of 1 Timothy 2 asking the same question that Paul himself is asking? This study explores whether Paul’s argument is organised around a different theological framework—one grounded in creation, the gathered church, and the gospel.
Genesis has been studied through history, archaeology, language and theology. This study asks why Christians should first learn how Jesus and the inspired biblical authors understand, develop and apply the Bible’s foundational story.
Paul’s letters are often interpreted through historical reconstructions, theological systems or modern controversies. This study argues that Paul should first be allowed to explain himself through the carefully developed arguments of his own letters.
These two passages are usually studied independently. This study examines their shared vocabulary, theological foundations, and rhetorical structure, asking whether together they reveal a unified Pauline theology of the gathered assembly.
