Incongruous Conciliation: A Constructive Critique of John Barclay's Paul and the Gift
John Barclay has recently argued that for Paul God’s grace, charis, in Christ is, almost without precedent, maximally ‘incongruous’, given to unfitting recipients. In fact, however, there are at least six further contemporary non-Christian examples, mostly Jewish, of incongruous grace in conciliatio...

Zusammenfassung: | John Barclay has recently argued that for Paul God’s grace, charis, in Christ is, almost without precedent, maximally ‘incongruous’, given to unfitting recipients. In fact, however, there are at least six further contemporary non-Christian examples, mostly Jewish, of incongruous grace in conciliation, some using katallagē, ‘(re-)conciliation’, others not. Further, betokening change, from discord to harmony, katallagē never on its own conveys (in)congruent ‘restoration’ of anything. This, of course, affects our interpretation of Paul in Rom. 5.10-11, 11.15 and 2 Cor. 5.17-20 (where perhaps the ‘re-’ in ‘re-conciliation’ misleads). |
