The Body: A Study in Pauline Theology

A standard work for Bible students by the author of _Redating the New Testament_ "One could say without exaggeration that the concept of the body forms the keystone of Paul's theology," contends the author. Robinson's book is the only comprehensive study that seeks to correlate Paul's language on the body. It knits together all of his great themes: the body of sin and death, in which man has fallen. It is through the body of Christ on the Cross that we are saved. It is into His body, the Church, that we are incorporated. It is through a resurrection of this same body that we are glorified. Here, with the exception of the doctrine of God, are represented all the main tenets of the Christian faith-the doctrines of Man, Sin, the Incarnation and Atonement, the Church, the sacraments, Sanctification, and Eschatology. This study of the body as the key to Paul's theology should be of interest to every serious student of the New Testament.
