Summary
This chapter draws together the various threads of the previous chapters and suggests an outline for the Pauline gospel narrative as it emerges from a theological reading of contemporary exegetical proposals. This gospel narrative is in turn tested for its explanatory power by using it as a hermeneutical lens to read a central Pauline text, Romans 8, and to help negotiate the exegetical knots in that chapter.
