Informationen zum Autor Robert H. Gundry (PhD, Manchester) is a scholar-in-residence and professor emeritus of New Testament and Greek at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. Among his books are Mark: A Commentary on His Apology for the Cross; Matthew: A Commentary on His Handbook for a Mixed Church Under Persecution, Soma in Biblical Theology, and Jesus the Word According to John the Sectarian. Klappentext Argues that the Greek word soma should be read as the individual physical body rather than man as an indivisible whole. Zusammenfassung Theologians have argued that the translation of the word soma as 'person' defines man as an indivisible whole and as a complex of relationships rather than an organization of substances. Against the trends of modern biblical theology! Dr Gundry seeks to show that soma always refers to the individual physical body and that it should be defined in substantive categories.
