Bøker i Contours of Pauline Theology-serien

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.
