A Cosmic Leap of Faith: An Authorial, Structural, and Theological Investigation of the Cosmic Christology in Col. 1:1520 (Contr,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Among the array of christologies embodied within New Testament literature, the socalled 'hymn' of Colossians 1: 1520 offers a unique and invaluable contribution to contemporary theological and interreligious discourse. This is because it conveys what is arguably the highest christological affirmation within the canon. Pizzuto contends that the hymn is a creative and faithfilled composition by the same deuteroPauline author of the Colossians epistle itself and demonstrates that there is an inextricable relationship between the chiastic structure of Col 1: 1520 and a proper understanding of its provenance, authorship and theology. Although the hymn echoes theological motifs consistent with Second Temple Judaism and loosely reflects a number of syncretistic influences, it is fundamentally the novelty of the 'Christevent,' the historical impact of Jesus of Nazareth that has been most influential in determining the christological categories of Col 1: 1520 and its larger epistolary framework. Pizzuto thus defends the overall integrity of the hymn against those who would assert that it reflects a preChristian or preColossians origin. He concludes that Col 1: 1520 represents something of a 'leap' beyond Pauline christology into a new and unequivocal conviction of the cosmic implications of the Cross.
