    Paul's Concept of Justification According To Rom 3:21-26 And the Problem Of Fundamentalism
    (Tangaza University College, 2003) Ndatta, Kamrata Emmanuel
    Roman 1:16-17 is the statement of the thesis as it introduces the thesis with key words explained in the thesis, like righteousness of God, faith and salvation. These words are very important in the Gospel of God proclaimed by Paul boldly to all people. For Paul, the new righteousness that is necessary for salvation requires faith. This distinguishes it from the old way of being righteous, and the new way that comes through faith in Christ Jesus. In explaining the righteousness of God, Paul touched the whole Christ event as the only way for salvation. In doing so, Paul through rabbinical techniques uses the Old Testament liturgical words to show the whole process. The gospel that Paul preached has a divine force that brings salvation to the believer. Something different from the righteousness that comes through the recommendations of the law. The meaning of the term righteousness in both ancient civil society and Jewish religion has got similar meaning. The observance of the law and the duty bound by it, are pertinent to being righteous (right conduct). The righteousness of God has a relational aspect, as there are parties involved, as a there is faithfulness between them. But when used in the religious circles, righteousness adds on it truth, mercy, faithfulness and salvation. To be in good standing in civil society and salvation could be easily distinguish by the term same righteousness. God was seen as a judge, and rectitude was determined by what one does.
