Paul and Participation in Christ - The Patristic Witness

In Paul’s letters, the participatory experience of Pauline Christians is never clarified and so it remains enigmatic. In this book, this Pauline enigma is addressed through a patristic lens involving a look at several patristic texts that may shed potential new light on the mystery of Pauline participation.
