Paternoster Biblical monographs Paul's metaphorical language of `Death` in Romans 6:1-11 Between horror and hope Sorin Sabou - Great Britain Paternoster 2005 - 159tr. paperback 23cm

This book argues that Paul's metaphorical language of death in Romans 6:1-11 conveys two aspects: horror and hope. The `horror` aspect is conveyed by the `crucifixion` language, and the `hope` aspect by `burial` language. The life of the Christian believer is understood, as relationship with sin is concerned (`death to sin`), between these two realities: horror and hope.
