This understanding is consistent with a more accurate translation of the original text (supported by other biblical scholars) and helps to bring clarity to key concepts in Christianity, while providing the means to resolve controversies which have persisted for centuries.

Topics discussed include the unique methodology Dr. Chiba applied for this updated translation, including his detailed semantic analysis, the “divine coincidence” which brought these two scholars together, the non-separateness between God’s righteousness and the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, the new “Law of Faithfulness” articulated by the Apostle Paul, and how “messy” theological debates can be sorted out through careful examination of the original text.
