Paul and Participation in Christ

"Since the 1970s, Pauline scholars have become increasingly aware of the significance of participation (formerly Pauline mysticism) in Paul's letters. In them, he employed a diversity of participatory expressions, speaking of believers being "in Christ," baptized "into Christ," and being crucified "with" Christ. While Paul makes frequent references to participation, he never explained what it was, thus leaving modern interpreters with an enigma on its nature. This book seeks to redress this neglected question of Pauline participation through an examination of patristic texts from Irenaeus, Origen, Athanasius, and Cyril of Alexandria, paying close attention to how each may shed potential new light on the enigma of Pauline participation."--Back cover.
