Book Description
"This thesis examines Paul’s anthropological terms, σῶμα, ψυχή, πνεῦμα, and καρδία, using aspects of the method of discourse analysis. It argues these terms often connote social and corporate dimensions of the human person, pointing to communal relationship, social identity, and corporate unity. Although not every single occurrence of these terms carries a corporate and relational reference, many occurrences form a coherent thematic meaning and point in that direction. This thesis casts doubt on the grammatical category of the ‘distributive singular’, preferring to read key texts as examples of Paul’s relational anthropology. It indicates that Paul’s anthropology shows less concern for the ontological nature of the human person. Instead, he uses anthropological terms to focus on the place of the human person within the ecclesial community. This thesis therefore proposes that reflection on the nature and identity of the human person should take the notions of communal relationship and social identity into serious consideration"--University of Divinity document repository.

Paul's Anthropological Terms in the Light of Discourse Analysis
Author: Sunny Chen
Publisher: Summer Institute of Linguistics, Academic Publications
ISBN: 9781556714214
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Scholars generally apply the New Testament Greek terms sōma 'body', pneuma 'spirit', psychē 'soul', and kardia 'heart' to the individual. But what is Paul is referring to with these terms? Dr Chen explores the whole picture. He illustrates that these terms carry social and corporate dimensions, focusing on community or communal unity, thus emphasising the place of the human person within the ecclesial community. Chen's helpful contribution to our understanding of Paul continues in the growing tradition of Moisés Silva, David Black, Stanley Porter, Joel Green, and others, using discourse linguistic principles to refine our understanding of biblical texts. His integrated investigation of the semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic features of Paul's anthropological terms in the context of the entire epistles in which they are used rightly challenges us to rethink all that Paul is referring to with these terms--which in turn will challenge us to rethink Paul's understanding of the Church and, indeed, of the entire Gospel message. Dr Sunny Chen (PhD, University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia) currently teaches New Testament Greek at Pilgrim Theological College, Melbourne. He is the Chaplaincy Coordinator at The University of Melbourne, and an Honorary Researcher at the University of Divinity.

Corporate Elements in Pauline Anthropology
Author: Sang-Won Son
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 9788876531484
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Studio di Son Sang-Won Aaron. L'autore analizza questi elementi delle lettere di Paolo: la formula in Cristo, il suo paragone e contrasto tra Adamo e Cristo, il suo concetto della chiesa come corpo di Cristo e come tempio, causa ed edificio di Dio, e la sua comprensione dell'unione sessuale come una carne. Paolo comprende il Cristo risorto come una personalita corporativa. In this book the author, claiming that modern western biblical scholarship, greatly influenced by extreme individualism, has not paid due attention to the corporate dimension of Pauline anthropology, investigates the following elements in Paul's letters in the light of his usage and background: (1) Paul's in Christ formula, (2) his comparison and contrast of Adam and Christ, (3) his concept of the church as the body of Christ and (4) as the temple, house, and building of God, and (5) his understanding of the sexual union as one flesh. The author insists that these elements, closely interwoven in concept and realistic in expression, indicate that Paul understands the risen Christ as a corporate person in whom all believers are included and the church as a corporate solidarity inclusive of both Christ and believers. Underlying this concept is, the author argues, Paul's assumption of the corporate solidarity of human existence. Paul views man not only as an individual but also as a corporate person whose existence extends in certain respects beyond his individual being to form corporate solidarity with others. This view of man both as an individual and corporate ' person, the author concludes, has significant implications for the rest of Pauline theology, particularly for his Christology, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

Paul's Eschatological Anthropology
Author: Sarah Harding
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1506406068
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
In this study, Sarah Harding examines Paul’s anthropology from the perspective of eschatology, concluding that the apostle’s view of humans is a function of his belief that the cosmos evolves through distinct aeons in progress toward its telos. Although scholars have frequently assumed that Paul’s anthropological utterances are arbitrary, inconsistent, or dependent upon parallel views extant in the first-century world, Harding shows that these assumptions only arise when Paul’s anthropology is considered apart from its eschatological context. That context includes the temporal distinction of the old aeon, the new aeon, and the significant overlap of aeons in which those “in Christ” dwell, as well as a spatial dimension that comprises the cosmos and the powers that dominate it (especially sin and the Holy Spirit). These eschatological dimensions determine the value Paul attaches to any particular anthropological “aspect.” Harding examines the cosmological power dominant in each aeon and the structures through which, in Paul’s view, these influence human beings, examining texts in which Paul discusses nous, kardia, and sōma in each aeon.
