New Testaments; Criticism & exegesis of sacred texts

In Paul’s New Creation: Vision for a New World and Community, Sejong Chun presents inter(con)textual readings of Paul’s new creation passages from the perspective of the Korean immigrant church in America. Chun focuses on Paul’s new creation’s cosmic dimension and ecclesiastical character and proposes the ekklesia as a tangible embodiment. The author suggests that Paul, as a middleman, accomplishes the collective project of the Jerusalem collection with his Gentile churches to declare independence from the Jerusalem church authority and to demonstrate God’s alternative economy against the exploitative system of the Roman Empire.

Reviews for Paul’s New Creation: Vision for a New World and Community

Sejong Chun’s new book, Paul’s New Creation: Vision for a New World and Community, tackles one of the most palpable themes in Paul’s vocabulary, “new creation.” Chun elaborates on this theme critically and contextually, placing the new creation in the lives of Korean immigrants in America, elucidating it in a world full of dangers and uncertainties. This topic is timely, and readers may benefit from this book because it takes new creation seriously and connects it to our lives. This book is an essential guide to “new creation theology” by Paul. -- Yung Suk Kim, Virginia Union University
