NSBT 22: Adopted Into God's Family
Exploring a Pauline Metaphor.The relationship between God
and his people is understood in various ways by the biblical writers, and it is
arguably the apostle Paul who uses the richest vocabulary. Unique to Paul's
writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being 'adopted as
son(s)'. It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a
key theological metaphor. Trevor Burke argues that huiothesia has been
misunderstood, misrepresented, or neglected through scholarly preoccupation
with its cultural background. He redresses the balance in this comprehensive
study, which discusses metaphor theory; explores the background to huiothesia;
considers the roles of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; examines the moral
implications of adoption, and its relationship with honour; and concludes with
the consequences for Christian believers as they live in the tension between
the ÈnowÉ and the Ènot yetÉ of their adoption into God's new family. (=
0830826238 / 9780830826230)'Not only the importance of God's
family, but also the enormous privilege of belonging to it, ar powerfully
underscored by Paul's understanding of what it means to be adopted sons of God.
With such themes in view, a wide array of pastoral implications soon springs to
light. In other words, this volume not ony probes a neglected theme - it also
edifies.' - D.A. CarsonSeries: New Studies in Biblical Theology,
