{"product_id":"9781939161727","title":"The Capitalist Dilemma in China's Cultural Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study proposes that both constitutively and rhetorically (through ironic, inferential, and indirect application), Ps 106(105) serves as the substructure for Paul’s argumentation in Rom 1:18–2:11. Constitutively, Rom 1:18–32 hinges on the triadic interplay between “they (ex)changed” and “God gave them over,” an interplay that creates a sin–retribution sequence with an \u003ci\u003ea-ba-ba-b\u003c\/i\u003e pattern. Both elements of this pattern derive from Ps 106(105):20, 41a respectively. Rhetorically, Paul \u003ci\u003eironically\u003c\/i\u003e applies the psalmic language of idolatrous “(ex)change” and God’s subsequent “giving-over” to Gentiles. Aiding this ironic application is that Paul has cast his argument in the mold of Hellenistic Jewish polemic against Gentile idolatry and immorality, similar to Wis 13–15. In Rom 2:1–4, however, Paul \u003ci\u003einferentially\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates a hypocritical Jewish interlocutor into the preceding sequence through the charge of doing the “same,” a charge that recalls Israel’s sins recounted in Ps 106(105). This incorporation then gives way to an \u003ci\u003eindirect\u003c\/i\u003e application of Ps 106(105):23, by means of an allusion to Deut 9–10 in Rom 2:5–11. Secondarily, this study suggests that Paul’s argumentation exploits an intra-Jewish debate in which evocations of the golden calf figured prominently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University (Ceas)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048697315568,"sku":"9781939161727","price":17.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939161727_p0.jpg?v=1769898343","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939161727","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
