Christ the telos of the law: An analytical investigation of romans 10:4

Christ the telos of the Law is an examination of what Paul meant when he says Christ is the end of the law in Romans 10:4. Literature researchers reveal that scholars generally cast their vote for the fact that the coming of Christ spelled the eclipse of the law e.g. C. H. Dodd, O. Michael, Paul Athans, E. Howard, J. Lagiange etc. Paul meant to say that the pursuit of righteousness through works of law is lapsed, because righteousness comes only by faith in Christ, who was instrumental in God’s hand to acquit sinners, since it is Christ alone that met the demand of the law. I agree with scholars that Christ spelled the eclipse of the law, but then the submission of this work is that the coming of Christ is like a declaration of amnesty to those who were in the prison of the law and also to the lawless. When amnesty is declared, prisoners don’t remain inside the prison. They go home free. That is the import of Paul’s statement in Romans 10:4.
