| Summary: | This essay argues that the traditional dichotomy between "apocalypticism" and philosophy should be transcended with regard to Paul's understanding of the pneuma in relation to sarx. The essay first analyses the cosmology of the pneuma in connection with the future resurrection of believers (1 Cor 15.35-50), then considers its presence in the bodies of believers here and now (2 Corinthians 3-5), then interprets the "anthropology" of 1 Thess 5.23 and 1 Cor 2.14-15 and 15.44 and its connection with Paul's "ethics", and finally proposes a reading of Rom 8.1-13 in relation to 7.7-25 that is based on Paul's concrete cosmology. |
