Book description
Gleanings from Gaffin’s The Centrality of the Resurrection: A Study in Paul’s Soteriology. I maintain, that for all Gaffins brilliance--and I agree with him in large part--he proves there is no such thing as one unified Reformed soteriology. My references are from the earlier edition.“Baptism signifies union with Christ” (45).Thesis: believers are united to Christ in his death; Christ’s death took on our sin; therefore, believers have died to sin (45). Interestingly, he leaves out his previous comments on baptism as union into Christ. “There is no element in Paul’s soteriology more basic than this existential union with Christ” (51). .The theme governing Paul’s thought is the unity of the resurrection with Christ with the resurrection of the believers (59-60). In the resurrection of the believer there are two episodes: the already and the not-yet.Gaffin affirms the Holy Spirit’s instrumentality in the resurrection of Jesus (cf. Romans 8:11; p. 66). Gaffin rightly affirms that Paul’s teaching on the resurrection has a Trinitarian character: The Father raises the Son through the instrumentality of the Spirit (74). The contrast between Adam and Christ is the contrast between two different heads/representatives of two different world-orders, aeons, ages (85). Resurrection as the Redemption of ChristAs long as Christ is dead, Satan and the powers remain triumphant. Following Romans 1:3, Gaffin maintains that Christ’s exaltation in the realm of the Spirit, the new age, is his justification or vindication (121). Christ’s resurrection is his justification as the Last Adam, of the firstfruits. This book is good but Pauline studies, regardless of ones tradition, have moved on to other stuff. Many of Gaffins arguments are dated, but the basic structure (no pun intended), is sound.
