바울이 말하는 새 창조와 성령, 그리고 그 신학적 함의 = New Creation and Its Theological Implication in Paul

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It can be said that Paul is the most important biblical writer who deals with the concept new creation thoroughly and crucially in the NT. Although Paul uses the term rarely (only twice) in his epistles, the concept itself is much broader than the language itself. In other words, the concept may be found even where the language is absent, particularly in the soteriological and eschatological context. The purpose of this article is to explore some theological implications in relation to the concept new creation understood by Paul. There are three main arguments in it. First of all, there is pneumatological reality in new creation concept. This can be found in the frame of salvation history. For Paul, Christ event is a transition to bring the new covenant age from the old covenant age. At the same time, Paul understands the Holy Spirit as the power who helps believers recognize the new covenant age. So it is impossible for Paul to think of new creation without the Holy Spirit. Second, there is an aspect of new humanity in the concept. The presence of a new creation means that new standards of life replace worldly standards. According to Paul, the new standards should be applicable to ethnic groups, churches, and all believers in the new humanity. Finally, Paul’s new creation concept includes cosmic salvation. The words in both 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 and Romans 8:19-21 suggest much more than human transformation. Paul argues that God reconciled “all things” through Christ including the entire natural world.
