Jesus and Paul on Covenantal Nomism
In my opinion, the parable of the good Samaritan is best read as a parabolic critique of covenantal nomism. If this is the case, then I would argue that Paul in Romans 2.14-15, 17-25, is on the very same page as Jesus and perhaps even has this parable in mind as he writes. Arguing for direct dependence would probably be extremely difficult, so I’ll just leave dependence as a perhaps at this point.
