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.

A Needed Treasure

By Christopher C. Alsruhe on July 19, 2004

Format: Paperback

How can one approach the Bible accurately when not knowing the "philosophy" of its Author? And because the Bible is about God and man, we must figure out the definition of these two before we develop the associated doctrines. The issue of the body affects many doctrines in the Bible, including soteriology (salvation), resurrection, and covenants.
Robinson makes clear that whether reading OT Hebrew or NT Greek, the Bible is Hebraic in thought, not Greek or Western. Despite the use of the Greek language, which recognized man as a dychotomy, Hebraic thought does not recognize such a view of man. And so, as Paul uses the language of the Greeks, he still expresses the truth of the Hebrews.
There is much I could say about the contents of this book. But let me say subjectively that I read the book with the intent of one reading. But before I was finished, I knew I would immediately reread it, partly for a better understanding on some things, and more so because of the excitement. After the second reading, I wanted to read it yet again; but I controlled myself because of two other books (equaling over 1200 pages) waiting in the wings. But "The Body" will be read yet again and again.
I affirm the need of regeneration for the sinner (John 3; Titus 3; Romans 3)and that the unsaved are "dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph. 2). But I deny the idea, propogated by the NIV, that man has a sin nature (which would make man be part nonhuman). "Sin nature" completely masks the Hebraic meaning of the word "flesh," and thus masks the doctrine of man, making him of two natures. This is another major flaw in the work of the adherents of dynamic equivalence "translation.Read more ›

Hard to Explain . . .

By R. Griswold on March 23, 2003

Format: Paperback

But this is the best book on Christianity and its existential relation(s) to the embodied life that I've ever read! Every paragraph of Robinson's closely reasoned interpretation of Paul, the most prolific Christian enscripturated writer, opened whole new vistas on how the body, existentially understood, ties together every facet of Christianity. I'll have more to say about this book in a subsequent review . . . But, if you can find a copy of this little jewel, grab it and see what I mean. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this too.
