This misguided position warrants an inquiry into the state of lexical study in New Testament scholarship. As a result, Fewster articulates a theory of lexical monosemy, cast in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The model is applied to Paul’s use of κτίσις through a robust corpus analysis and investigation into the word's role within the paragraph. κτίσις contributes to the cohesive structure of Rom 8.18–23 and—contra the majority of interpreters—functions as a metaphor for the human body.Linguistic Biblical Studies8.CreationBiblical teachingElectronic books.CreationBiblical teaching.227/.106Fewster Gregory P935468MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463150403321Creation language in Romans 82285943UNINA
