The Background and Content of Paul's Cultic Atonement Metaphors
This
examination of Gentile and Jewish religious and literary descriptions
of sacrificial and expulsion rituals provides a useful background to the
study of Paul's metaphorical use of sacrifice and scapegoat to
characterize the significance of the death of Jesus. In addition to
offering an overview of Paul's use of cultic metaphors and an assessment
of Paul's synthesis of martyrology and cultic metaphor, this work shows
how Paul uses still other metaphors (acquittal, reconciliation,
adoption) to picture the beneficial after-effects of that death.Get it
