Understanding Paul’s faith thus gives us insight and understanding concerning his practices. Those who work among Gentiles may imitate his methods, but do they orient their discipleship in the same theological direction and trajectory as Paul? Are Gentiles being conditioned and groomed to find joy and peace in believing the promises given to the patriarchs (cf. Rom. 15:13), or are their ears being tickled with Gentile myths that ease the difficulties raised by Jewish election and apocalyptic sobriety (cf. 2 Tim. 4:3)? -John P. Harrigan
