| Summary: | In a world where belief in a spirit world is on the increase, Williams’s study of the spirit world in Paul offers a solid basis for renewed reflection on the relation between Christology, salvation, and community and the spiritual world. Guy Williams, now teaching Philosophy and Religion at Wellington College (Berkshire, England), has completed a very readable in-depth analysis that guides the reader smoothly through the comparative study of Paul’s beliefs about the spirit world in his first-century context. The book demonstrates convincingly that belief in the spirit world is embedded as a set of unquestioned, implicit assumptions in Paul’s writings as it is in his ancient Jewish context., The book is divided into three major sections. |
