Abstract:
The consensus of New Testament scholars that the appellation Χριστός in Paul’s letters isa personal name and devoid of messianic convictions is increasingly questioned. Movingbeyond philological, tradition-historical, exegetical, and common-sense arguments, thefollowing can be demonstrated. When we treat Paul as a real person who read and studiedthe Hebrew Scriptures, who proclaimed the gospel in both Greek and Aramaic, using someHebrew in the synagogues, who taught in local congregations in both Greek and Aramaic,who maintained contact with the Aramaic-speaking Jesus followers in Jerusalem throughouthis ministry, and who sang and prayed in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the assumption that,for Paul, Χριστός always stood for ַיחִ שָׁ מַּ ה/אָ יחִ שְׁ מ, the Messiah of God and the Messiah ofGod’s people, is highly plausible.
