This book is a sustained investigation of the interpretation of righteousness ( ) in Romans as it undergoes personification within a metaphoric and narratorial setting. The argument has, as its starting point, the assertion that previous treatments of righteousness in Romans, and particularly within the New Perspective, have failed adequately to take account of the poetic, connotative, and metaphoric nature of Paul's language. As a way forward, David J. Southall assesses recent literary theorists and endorses their conclusions that metaphor, narrative and personification are tropes of semantic innovation which are productive of new information. In nuce, the thesis of the entire project is that when personified Dikaiosu/nh occurs within pericopes which display clear components of metaphor and narrative, then the character-invention Righteousness acts out the role which in less metaphoric and narratorially construed passages would be played by Christ himself. The author mainly seeks to demonstrate this via exegetical treatments of Romans 6:15-23 and 9:30-10:21 (texts in which biblical scholarship has recognised the personification of righteousness) showing that both of these pericopes contain strong metaphoric and narratorial elements, and concluding that personified operates within these matrices and is functionally equivalent to Christ himself. The investigation concludes with an examination of righteousness elsewhere in the Pauline corpus.

Southall's position is that there are two passages in Romans that convey the idea that the 'righteousness of God' refers to Christ, Romans 6 and Romans 10. In other words to be justified is to be 'in Christ.' This idea of personification can also be seen in terms of the cosmic power of sin and death, where sin, death and the law are manifestations of Satan.Just as Kasemann sees justification as the power of God to change individuals, and Wright sees the 'righteousness of God' in terms of being faithful to God's covenant, Southall sees Paul personifying 'the righteousness of God' as being 'in Christ' or Christ himself. Southall also supports the idea that we are justified based on the faith of Christ.
I thought the book was well written and arguments well presented.
