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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890975490199,"sku":"9789004246485","price":17439.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004246485.webp?v=1781181897","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/creation-language-in-romans-8-a-study-in-monosemy-9789004246485","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
