Troels Engberg-Pedersen

Gebundenes Buch

Cosmology and Self in the Apostle Paul

The Material Spirit

Beschreibung

This book presents an innovative challenge to the traditional reading of Paul. Troels Engberg-Pedersen argues that the usual, mainly cognitive and metaphorical ways of understanding central Pauline concepts must be supplemented by a literal understanding that directly reflects Paul's materialist cosmology.
