NT276 Pauline Theology
Overview
In NT276 Pauline Theology Dr. Douglas J. Moo organizes Paul’s theology within the new realm of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the lives of Jesus’ followers. After comparing the new realm to the old realm of the law, Dr. Moo takes you on a journey from the inauguration of the new realm to its culmination, stopping to discuss the people of the new realm and how Jesus’ followers enter into, live within, and enjoy this new realm. This course provides you with a foundation to read, study, teach, and preach the message of the apostle Paul.
Top Highlights
“It is the contrast in salvation history between the already—what God has done—and the not-yet of what He is yet to do that is fundamental in Paul’s theology.” (source)
“The most obvious are what we would call quotations. Scholars give different estimates here, but by my estimate Paul quotes the ot about ninety-two times in his thirteen epistles. It’s worth noting that those quotations are not evenly distributed throughout, which is kind of an interesting phenomenon. Some of the letters, like Romans, are full of quotations; others have none at all. [It’s] an interesting phenomenon, again, that we’ll have occasion to talk about later on.” (source)
“What’s interesting, however, is that beyond the death and resurrection of Jesus, Paul says so little about Jesus’ life or teaching. He hardly ever refers to any other moment in the life of Jesus. Nor does he refer to Jesus’ teaching while He was on earth very often.” (source)
“If Scripture authority means anything, it has its bottom line focused right here: that we be willing to listen to the text and to change our views as we need to, based on what the text is saying.” (source)
“Arguably, the Reformers emphasize the forensic—although, as we have seen, Calvin has a very strong idea of union as well” (source)

Dr. Douglas J. Moo, professor of New Testament, teaches at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. For over twenty years, his ministry was based at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His academic interests revolve around the interface of exegesis and theology.
Dr. Moo seeks to model to students a rigorous approach to the Greek text that always asks the “so what” questions of ultimate significance and application. The Pauline and General Letters have been his special focus within the NT canon. In the next few years, he will be writing commentaries on Galatians and Hebrews, a Pauline theology, and a theological and practical book on creation care.
He has also been active in his local church, serving as elder most years, teaching and preaching to the church, and conducting home Bible studies. Also very rewarding has been his service on the Committee on Bible Translation, the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV and with producing the TNIV.
He and his wife, Jenny, have five grown children.
