Sin and Its Remedy in Paul

by Nijay K. Gupta, John K. Goodrich (Editor)

This collection of essays considers what light is shed on Pauline soteriology by giving focused attention to the apostle's language and conception of sin. Sometimes Paul appears to present sin and disobedience as transgression, while at other times sin is personified and treated as an enslaving power. Is there a model or perspective that can account for Paul's conceptual range in his discussion of sin? What does careful study of Paul's letters reveal about the christological and pneumatological remedies to the problem of sin as he conceives of them? These questions are explored with attention to individual Pauline letters towards a richer understanding of his attitude towards sin and its remedy.

Reviews

[Rafael Sales · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this book I read a chapter for one week each chapter I used to think about it and spouse some time for a week. The idea is to understand what each author represents in your essays. So the conclusion is some size is very good but I have a lot to think about how to understand some other insights. Some authors make me pay attention and others I have some distance about and have some disagree with him. This book is very helpful or useful to make some studies club or studies meeting to explore how Paul talks about sin in each of his letters. I like the book's format and like how it is divided.
