Über dieses Buch

<a name="_dx_frag_StartFragment"></a>Until recently, many scholars have read Paul&rsquo;s use of the word Christos as more of a proper name (&ldquo;Jesus Christ&rdquo;) than a title, Jesus the Messiah. Joshua Jipp broadens the discussion by surveying Greco-Roman and Jewish depictions of the ideal king and argues for the influence of these traditions on several aspects of Paul&rsquo;s thought, including Paul&rsquo;s language of participation &ldquo;in Christ.&rdquo; Jipp finds that Paul&rsquo;s use of royal tropes is indeed significant, and concludes that Christos is a royal title, an honorific, within Paul&rsquo;s letters.<BR />, <BR />
