NRSVue made big improvements

As a critical interpreter of Paul's letters, I have long argued for the subjective genitive reading of the pistis christou phrases. Finally, the NRSVue (updated edition) reflects this reading. I am convinced that Paul's theology stands on two cornerstones: God's good news and Jesus Christ's faithfulness.  

  • Rom 3:22: "faith in Jesus Christ" (NRSV); "faith of Jesus Christ" (NRSVue)
  • Rom 3:26: "faith in Jesus" (NRSV); "the faith of Jesus" (NRSVue)
  • Gal 2:16: "faith in Jesus Christ" (NRSV); "the faith of Jesus Christ" (NRSVue)
  • Gal 2:20: "by faith in the Son of God" (NRSV); "by the faith of the Son of God" (NRSVue)
