Especially if one accepts the subjective genitive of pistis Christou, Paul
can be read as presenting a soteriology in which Jesus has already
accomplished something through his death/resurrection. The clearest
statement of this soteriology is Stan Stowers' proposal of the messiah who
delayed. Also helpful, I believe, is B. H. McLean's suggestion of Jesus as
a pharmakos, the foundations of which are set in his article "The Absence of
an Atoning Sacrifice in Paul's Soteriology," NTS 38.4 (1992): 531-53. Can
anyone recommend bibliography or offer other explanation of a Christocentric
Pauline soteriology in which Jesus is something other than a passive object
of human faith?
