He has risen. He is not here.

Kim Riddlebarger on the ESV Study Bible

Kim Riddlebarger recently posted on the ESV Study Bible. What caught my eye was when he mentioned some disagreements with the study notes, and gave Dr. Tom Schreiner as an example at Romans 2:6-11Open Link in New Window. Since I am a fan of both Riddlebarger and Schreiner, I really want to see what Schreiner’s notes say- but I don’t have a copy of it. Can anyone who has a copy shed some light here?

    Bryan: Sure, here’s the notes in question:

    Rom. 2Open Link in New Window:6–11 Paul establishes the principle that judgment is according to . . . works. The structure of the passage is clear. Verse 6 enunciates the principle. Verses 7–10 work it out more specifically with an ABBA pattern (a chiasm). Verse 11 then explains why God judges according to works (because he is impartial). When Paul speaks of those who are rewarded for doing good works (vv. 7, 10), is he speaking hypothetically or of real obedience? The hypothetical view fits with the theme of the section as a whole (1:18–3:20), where all are condemned for sin, and righteousness does not come by works of law. It seems more likely, however, that Paul is speaking here of real obedience that is rewarded on the last day—such obedience being the result of the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, as Paul explains at the conclusion of the chapter (2:26–29). Impartiality in judgment (v. 11) is a regular requirement in the OT (see Deut. 1:17Open Link in New Window; 16:18–20), reflecting the righteousness of God’s judgment (Deut. 10:17Open Link in New Window).

    Bryan:

    Some more of Schreiner’s notes can be found at Reformation Theology. They didn’t post Romans 2Open Link in New Window so I am glad Nick did, but they posted his notes on Romans 9Open Link in New Window and 11.

    Yeah, the online version is great. Can cut and paste, and the digital text links are really nice too.
