| Opplysninger | Introduction: Rereading Paul's use of sacrificial language in Romans -- Theorizing sacrifice -- Misguided gentile cult (Romans 1) -- Is Jesus' death sacrificial in Romans? (Romans 3:25; Romans 8:3) -- Ethnic categories, family membership and kinship in Romans (Romans 1, 3, 4, 8, 9-11, 15) -- Paul's eschatological asceticism and the construction of kinship (Romans 6-8) -- Brotherhood in the spirit and transformation (Romans 12 and 13) -- The obedience of the ethne, sacrifice and eschatology (Romans 15) -- Conclusion: Sacrifice and fulfilment.. - "In this book, Patrick McMurray argues that Paul invokes sacrifice in Romans 12:1 to construct a new brotherhood with Christ and therefore gentile membership of Abraham's lineage as brothers alongside the Israelites. God's promise, requiring ethnic plurality, is thereby fulfilled, and their consequent spiritual transformation also fulfills the law"-- Fra forlaget
