바울에 대한 새 관점 무엇이 문제인가? = A Critical Review of New Perspective on Paul What is at Stake of New Perspective on Paul?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article attempts to provide a critical review of the New Perspective on Paul (NPP), focusing on the major agenda of EP Sanders, James Dunn and Tom Wright, who are currently the most outstanding advocates of the NPP. Although the article recognizes that the NPP has suggested some new insights on the role of the covenant and the law within Second Temple Judaism (STJ), as well as on the social (horizontal) meaning of the law and the righteousness (of God) in the Pauline epistles, it basically exposes the fundamental weaknesses of the NPP as follows: Firstly, Sanders reconstruction of STJ as covenantal nomism is one-sided, because more recent investigations of the STJ show that both covenantal nomism and legalism coexist within the STJ, especially in eschatological teachings. Secondly, Dunn s sociological re-interpretation of the law and works of the law as a national identity or boundary markers of Jews is one-sided, because Paul basically uses the Jewish law or the works of the law as the representative of the entire Jewish law which is demanded to obey generally. Thirdly, Wright s covenantal and ecclesiological re-interpretation of the righteousness of God is one-sided, because the basic meaning of the righteousness of God in the Pauline letters is soteriological more than both covenantal and ecclesiological. Therefore, the article concludes that the NPP misunderstands and misrepresents not only STJ but also Paul.
