Was Paul’s Theology Roman… Not Biblical?

Did Paul borrow one of Rome’s most powerful legal tools—adoption—to reshape Jewish identity and redefine who belongs to God’s people? In this MythVision episode, Dr. Katell Berthelot explains how adoption was a major legal institution in Roman society, deeply connected to inheritance, legitimacy, and even imperial succession—yet strangely absent from biblical and rabbinic Jewish law. So why does Paul use the technical Greek term huiothesia (“adoption”) in Romans and Galatians? Berthelot argues that while the Bible contains the metaphor of God as Father and Israel as His children, Paul and Philo are among the first Jewish authors to use the legal vocabulary of adoption—suggesting strong influence from the Greco-Roman world. We also explore: how Gentiles could become “children of Abraham” why inheritance is central to Paul’s theology whether Paul redefined Abraham’s descendants without redefining Israel itself how Jewish writers viewed natural law, Noahide law, and Gentile accountability whether Paul’s ideas opened the door to replacement theology This episode is essential for anyone interested in early Judaism, Roman imperial culture, Paul’s theology, and how Christianity emerged inside the Greco-Roman world. 📌 Dr. Katell Berthelot’s book: Jews and Their Roman Rivals 📌 Subscribe for more scholarship and deep historical conversations. ============================ FIND ALL LINKS HERE 👉 https://linktr.ee/mythvision ============================ RECOMMENDED ONLINE COURSES HERE 👉👉 Checkout MVP Courses to find new and upcoming online courses: https://mvp-courses.com/ Sign up for Dr. James Tabor’s Course, “The Quest for the Historical Paul: Apostle or Apostate?” - - https://mythvisionpodcast.com/histori...
