In the wake of challenges issued by Krister Stendahl, E. P. Sanders, and others, a protracted debate has ensued over the basic rationale of Paul's argument in Rom 1:16-3:26, which continues to the present. On the one hand, many continue to advocate for a traditional approach focused on soteriological categories of sin, condemnation, and justification by faith alone. On the other hand, most revisionists counter with a social approach focused on Jews, Gentiles, and the social identity of God's people. Over time, this debate has produced an interpretative impasse, with significant exegetical problems evident on both sides. Not coincidentally, many have also concluded that Paul's argument is simply not logically or conceptually unified. Against this background, the present study will not seek to arbitrate between existing approaches per se, by revisiting the same questions and observations that originally generated this debate. It will instead seek to develop a substantively new approach by drawing attention to a crucial but neglected theme that runs all the way through these verses, namely the theme of revelation. In the past, this theme has never been closely studied in these chapters, partly due to scholarly reliance on word-study methods that isolate different vocabulary words from each other and so obscure the available data from view, and partly due to reliance on modern definitions of revelation that stand in tension with the way Paul actually describes it here. However, a more careful approach to the evidence shows how this theme receives mention in every passage in this section, and often in prominent locations. Consequently, uncovering the theme and defining it more carefully from within will also help shed new light on this whole section of Romans. What results constitutes a new interpretative paradigm that uncovers Paul's ongoing concern for what is revealed in the world, where it is revealed, and by what power. Specifically, Paul's argument comprises a survey not simply of human sins per se, whether individual or social, but of how the power of God, the Law, and Sin do and do not produce observable effects in different people and what such effects reveal. Through this survey, Paul vindicates his own claims about who will be saved and how. Along the way, the results of this new approach will also solve a host of exegetical problems generated by past paradigms and so provide a more cogent account of the argument's conceptual unity. This includes showing how passages like Rom 2:1-29 and 3:1-8 make specific, positive contributions to Paul's argument, right where they are and exactly as they are worded. The study will also bring the broader theological vistas of Paul's argument more clearly into view, in which the world is a theater for God's working and human beings are vessels for displaying his attributes. In the end, this reading not only helps uncover the depths of the problem of human sin in its full Pauline dimensions but also reveals the unique grandeur and efficacy of the gospel's power, as God overcomes Sin in Christ and thereby displays his own character as just even while justifying the ungodly.
