DIVINE CONFLICT AND THE DIVINE WARRIOR - SCOTT ...

In this study  Scott C. Ryan situates Paul's letter to the Romans as one voice among a number
of Jewish voices that frame God as a divine warrior. He first investigates motifs related to
divine conflict in Exodus 14-15  Amos  Isaiah  Ezekiel  and Daniel 7-12  along with 1 Enoch 
Psalms of Solomon  Wisdom of Solomon  the War Scroll  and 4 Ezra. The author then places Romans
in dialogue with the works of Paul's predecessors and near contemporaries. When Romans and
these Jewish texts are placed alongside one another  Paul emerges as a writer who participates
in Jewish divine conflict traditions. The apostle maintains Israel's eschatological hope in a
warring deity even as he modifies that image in light of God's action in the Christ-event.
