Sin and Its Remedy in Paul

Thoughmuch-studied, Pauline soteriology can be seen afresh by giving focusedattention to the apostle's language and conception of sin. Sometimes Paulappears to present sin and disobedience as transgression, while at other timessin is personified as an enslaving power. Is there a single model orperspective that can account for Paul's conceptual range in his discussion ofsin? What does careful study of Paul's letters reveal about the christologicaland pneumatological remedies to the problem of sin as he conceives of them?These questions are explored in the context of individual Pauline letters,building a richer understanding of the apostle's attitude to sin and itsremedy.
