NSBT 45: Righteous by Promise
Given the foundational importance of circumcision in the Old Testament
and its prevalence in debates in the New Testament, it is remarkable that so
little detailed work has been done on establishing a biblical theology of
circumcision. This oversight is even more surprising given that circumcision
forms the background to some of the most contested writings of the apostle
Paul. Furthermore, the biblical material seems to present quite varied and even
apparently contradictory pictures of what circumcision means.
Two key biblical concepts closely linked to circumcision are
righteousness and faith. Karl Deenick shows that these are central to both the
New Testament and the developing Old Testament understandings of circumcision.
They are held together by the unfolding promise of a blameless 'seed of
Abraham', Jesus Christ, through whose sacrifice the promised
righteousness will finally come. This righteousness will be enjoyed by those
whose hearts are 'circumcised', trusting in God's promise.
