Inhaltsangabe

This book is a detailed analysis of Romans 7-8, which cover a pivotal moment in humanity's ongoing development. The author, a renowned scholar, examines the transition from a state of undeveloped childishness into the realm of law, where sin awakens and initiates an inner conflict. Sin calls up that conflict within the individual, allowing them to truly become conscious of opposing moral forces within themselves and of their powerlessness in this bondage. As a result of this conflict, the individual realizes their need for redemption. At this point, the author brings forth the redemptive power of Christ. This new life penetrates not merely the inward man, but sanctifies and glorifies the bodily substance also so that the whole person becomes increasingly like Christ and thereby heir of God and co-heir of the glory of Christ. Ultimately, the book argues that as members of creation, our lives react upon the universe for glorification not less than our death has acted upon it for destruction.
