Paul among the Philosophers : The Case of Sin in Romans 6—8 |
| Type de document : |

| Auteurs : |
Emma Wasserman, Auteur |
| Année de publication : |
2008 |
| Article en page(s) : |
pp. 387-415. |

| Résumé : |
Against the prevailing view that Paul is (at most) marginally influenced by Greek intellectual traditions, this article argues that Romans 6...8 manifests certain Platonic traditions about the soul. Following a consideration of scholarship on Pauline anthropology and a critical definition of discourse, Paul's appropriation of Greek philosophy is recast as the adaptation of a Platonic discourse about extreme immorality or the death of the soul. This discourse explains the language about sin, death, flesh, passions and the body; the metaphors of enslavement, imprisonment and rule that predominate in these chapters; and the inciting role of law in Rom. 7.7-13. |
