Abstract: The present article explores Paul’s use and meaning of the διαθήκη (diathēkē, “covenant” or “testament”) in Galatians 3–4, as well as the relation between the covenants mentioned or presupposed in these chapters: the Abrahamic promise covenant, the Mosaic law covenant, and the Davidic and eschatological (“new”) covenants. The article first highlights elements that suggest that “covenant” is an important aspect of Paul’s biblical-theological argument in Galatians. Two sections develop the content of these covenants. In the final section, the relation between the covenants is brought to bear upon the covenant and Mosaic law in Reformed theology. A historical-redemptive approach is considered necessary for understanding Paul’s statements on the Mosaic Torah and covenant in Galatians 3–4, as well as in Reformed theology generally.

The concept of zeal is a complex one in Scripture. It is often linked in the Old Testament to physical violence against those who opposed God and his covenant with Israel. This is the kind of zeal demonstrated by Saul the Pharisee in his persecution of the infant church. The zeal of Paul the apostle, on the other hand, had been transformed by the cruciform zeal of Christ. An appreciation of this transformation sheds new light on some exegetical cruxes in Paul’s writings. It also highlights key differences between the old and new covenants and between proper and misplaced religious zeal.

‘Revelation in Christian Scripture’ is an immensely evocative theme, focused upon two intertwined events: the climactic apocalypse of the Father’s Eternal Son in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the son-making effect realized in those who receive the good news of this mysterious happening. The unmediated mediation of access to God that Jesus imparts through the gift of his Spirit gives a paradoxical colour to the conception of Revelation in Christian Scripture. The equally paradoxical notion of a prophesied novum further shapes Christian Scripture’s construction of Revelation. The manifold ways that the revelation of Jesus is related to the prior revelation made through Moses mirrors the complex relationship between Old and New Covenants and the progressive and epochal structure of divine pedagogy. The mapping of this bipartite structure onto the contours of the written Bible exposes the sacred text as itself a revelatory communication of the mystery.

The author of the paper looks for a key to Pauline theology. Scholarsdiffers considerably in this subject that results in sometimes extremelyopposed views on the degree the old and new covenants are related to eachother as well, as on to the degree Paul himself was linked to Judaism afterhis conversion. So far answers given by scholars focus on main themes ofPaul’s Epistles (eschatology, soteriology and so on) or emerge from previouspresumptions on Judaism, but not mainly from the Epistles themselves.The present article points at the concept of the new creation in Christwhich is the background of all themes treated by Paul and links them inone coherent entity.
