"Paul, ?Apocalyptic? and ?Salvation-History? approaches, and Barth" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-30 08:50:35

To oversimplify to the extreme: the modern apocalyptic approach to Paul broadly speaking denies a continuity between Paul's thought and the old creation and covenant. A salvation-history approach seeks to understand Paul's thinking as part of the trajectory even if it is doing something new and radical of the old covenant and creation. In the apocalyptic approach. God breaks into history independent of God's age-old promises tied to Israel's and the world's history – matters important to the salvation-history approach. These two approaches to Paul are fundamentally not about the nature of revelation such that one can be used to affirm a Barthian approach and the other not but a largely exegetical judgment about the significance of the covenant as it relates to Paul's theology. The similarities between the 'apocalyptic' and Barth may well be superficial and less significant than at first appearance. First the hard distinction between 'apocalyptic' and 'salvation-history' approaches to Paul is often over pressed. Dunn once insightfully wrote that it was the "apocalyptic climax of the salvation-history which constituted the heart of his gospel". The two belong together for the apocalyptic reveals the ways in which God fulfils his covenant promises (Daniel). Were the new creation so utterly discontinuous one would struggle to explain much of Paul's reasoning (famously in Rom 9-11 for example). And to state the obvious. Christ's significance was not written by Paul in binary code but in the language and milieu of Jewish Christianity as it sought to understand how Christ was the of the law. Yes Christ was new surprising discontinuous in so many ways with the old covenant but Christ was not without context not entirely 'out of the blue' and entirely impossible to understand as just 'out of the blue'. For an extended critique of dividing 'apocalyptic' from 'salvation-history' cf. Wright's on the dialogue and conversation between Christ and scriptures in the understanding of the early church. Christ was not ever an entity separate from the scriptures given to the covenant people. It may be objected that some of these arguments caricature the 'apocalyptic' approach. But the point here is that 'apocalyptic' and 'salvation-history' approaches are a difference of emphasis not kind – and were one to maintain the latter one enters the land of the caricature I critiqued. Barth speaks of the history of Christ as the history of humanity. All is focused upon Christ and his story (hence Barth's revamp of traditional understandings of election). Wright maintains that Christ's life death and resurrection expresses the history of Israel (election exile and return) which itself was a retelling of Adam's and the world's story. See for example how Gregory MacDonald in terms of the Apostle Paul uses Wright's insights to argue that Christ's story is world history in a nutshell ( I therefore suggest that Barthians would do well to avoid seeing a natural ally in the 'apocalyptic' approach to Paul. There may well be room for more fruitful dialogue with those in the salvation-history school – caricatures aside given Barth's procedure in CD IV the way in which everything is reimagined rethought etc in light of Christ and the significance of the history of Christ in Wright's thought. Hi Chris: a very interesting post! Naturally I disagree with you on these points and especially on the suggestion that Barth's view of "covenant" is close to Wright's. Part of the aim of my SBL paper was to show that Barth uses words like "covenant" and "Heilsgeschichte" in a way that is antithetical to Wright and Dunn. The similarities in vocabulary can easily be mistaken for theological affinity; ultimately though we can do a Wrightian reading of Barth only at the expense of Barth's doctrine of election (i e at the expense of his whole theology!). Anyway thanks again for such a thoughtful post (and I enjoyed chatting with you about this in San Diego as well). I'll try to post a few thoughts in response within the next day or two... Chris,It is important to keep in mind that apocalyptic works are so-called because they "un-veil" God's plans to a privileged seer and *not* because of the inbreaking-ness of God's actions that they depict. This is an important distinction to keep in mind as it is confused somewhat by the fact that the word "apocalyptic" as we tend to apply it to a given theology refers to the quality of inbreaking-ness a quality that typifies the true apocalypses but which does not account for that genre's use of the word "apocalypsis". The confusion unfortunately contributes to an already huge misunderstanding of the role of revelation in theology in that the activity of God's inbreaking (the Christ event etc.) is then wrongly summed up as being (an act of) "revelation" as though the term "revelation" fittingly describes things that in themselves are not epistemic. Anyone who wanders far enough down this mistaken path of course will end up embracing Barthian theology which takes "revelation" as its organizing principle and speaks of the inbreakingness of God's salvific power as a breaking down of humanity's inability to know anything about God. As a remedy to Barth's muddlement. I suggest drinking deep from the wells of James Barr. Gustaf Wingren and Richard Muller. Hi Ben,To clarify that 'Barth's view of "covenant" is close to Wright's' was not quite the point of my argument. I want to suggest that there is room for dialogue here - despite the apparently more attractive similarities in the 'apocalyptic' approach. I look forward to your response!Hi John,Yes. I was aware of the different meanings of 'apocalyptic' - I used it here as it has come to be used in Pauline discussions. Those who use it as far as I know also appreciate its etymology too. Thanks for the names. Gustaf Wingren and Richard Muller. I'll have to try to look them up. Hi JB,T'was really great meeting you in SD. But " seeing as how you never delivered the goods on a full-length review as promised"WHAT?!?! How are your ideas coming on - on teh tribulation? I am New Testament Tutor for and. London. In my postgraduate research (under the supervision of Max Turner) I’m working on a thesis that concerns the christological significance of the language Paul used to describe the relationship between risen Lord and believer. My blog is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way.

Fukuyama a professor of international political economy at Johns Hopkins first made a name for himself in 1989 when during the waning days of the Cold War he published an essay called (Later he would turn it into a bestselling book. .) Stealing a page from Karl Marx. Fukuyama maintained that history had a direction to it. It flowed with purpose always bringing progress. But the end point wasn’t communist utopia. It was liberal democracy mixed with remove market economics. That’s where humanity was collectively heading with a victorious America leading the way. (In his original essay he wrote. “What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War or the passing of a particular period of post-war history but the end of history as such: that is the end inform of mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final create of human government.”) In the intervening years the world’s movement toward western democracy hasn’t exactly followed a straight line and the 9/11 attacks and the ensuing “War on Terror” have seemingly lent credence to a dimmer worldview one outlined by Samuel Huntington in the controversial schedule.
