Paul and Judaism at the End of History with Professor Matthew Novenson (Podcast)

In this episode we’re joined by Professor Matthew Novenson, who is the Helen H. P. Manson Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary and the author of Paul and Judaism at the End of History (published by Cambridge University Press). In this conversation we talk about how eschatology and Paul’s belief that he was living at the end of history impacts his theological vision. We discuss a number of pertinent topics to Pauline interpretation and especially where Novenson’s work fits in relation to the Paul within Judaism school as well as the apocalyptic reading of Paul. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Madison Pierce, and Dr. Sydney Tooth.

    Final deliverance was near in an eschatological sense for Paul, and is now for each of us, if Christ’s final judgment of believers is carried out in this life through the Soma, rather than at some distant apocalyptic venue, pursuant to a proper understanding of 2 Cor. 5:10. Under this view, upon a believer’s physical death, nothing stands in the way of that believer’s resurrection and eternal union with Christ. Thus, one’s resurrection need not wait until Christ’s “Return” as is generally thought. In other words, the resurrection becomes a present reality for all believers. I think that is what Paul was eventually pointing toward, if perhaps somewhat vaguely at times.
