Matthew Croasmun

The Emergence of Sin

The Cosmic Tyrant in Romans

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Commentators have long argued about whether to read Paul's personification of Sin in Romans literally or figuratively. Matthew Croasmun suggests both that the cosmic power Sin is nothing more than an emergent feature of a vast network of human transgression and that this power is nevertheless a real person.
