page 365 note 2 Cullmann's contention that II Thess. ii. I f. alludes to the Roman emperor is an assertion unfounded on anything in that specific passage itself; and indeed Cullmann's interpretation is based upon the prior assumption that Rom. xiii. 1–7 is legitimately Pauline and can therefore be taken as an elucidating parallel to the Thessalonian passage—an assumption which we are here denying.Google Scholar
page 366 note 1 See Morrison, C. D., The Powers that Be (London, 1960), p. 104Google Scholar. In a footnote on the same page, Morrison quotes as additional evidence as to the lack of syntactical connexion, the parallel conclusions of such able scholars as Meyer, Zahn, and Godet.
page 366 note 2 See Barrett, C. K., The Epistle to the Romans (London, 1957), p. 244. Barrett, however, does not of course see the seven verses as an interpolation. However, full weight must be given to his two observations that (I) this is a self-contained treatment of a special theme not immediately related to what precedes or follows, and (2) this new theme is abruptly introduced with no organic literary connexion to its surroundings.Google Scholar
