Overview
This dissertation examines the role of the Davidic Messiah, who is the agent of God’s judgment in Romans 1:18--4:25. It may be summarized in two theses: First of all, the Davidic Messiah was expected in the Old Testament and the Second Temple Jewish writings, which establish the foundation for Paul’s Davidic Messiah Christology in Romans. Second, the language in the role of the agent of God’s judgment cannot be identified with the term faithfulness.

Myongil Kim navigates intersecting, swirling, controversial streams in Paul’s Letter to the Romans: the Davidic Messiah, covenant faithfulness, and faith/faithfulness in/of the Messiah. He navigates these waters with bold strokes. The key is to understand the expectations in the Scriptures and Second Temple Judaism of a Davidic Messiah who would be an agent of God’s judgment, not covenantal fulfillment. We are indebted to Professor Kim for advancing our understanding in new and fresh directions.
