This volume\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexamines passages where the apostle Paul speaks of \"putting off\" the old self and \"putting on\" the new self to illustrate the past and present \u003ci\u003espiritual\u003c\/i\u003e transformation of God's people. Paul also speaks of \"putting on\" an immortal, brilliant body like Christ's to illustrate the future \u003ci\u003ebodily\u003c\/i\u003e transformation of God's people. Through these vivid clothing metaphors, Paul hints at a variety of other biblical and cultural images that help us imagine the transformation that God is working within his saints. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spiritual and bodily transformations take place by--and ultimately for--\u003ci\u003eseeing God in his glory\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet this promise may feel foreign to many Christians who have been taught to think of God as eternally invisible. \u003ci\u003ePutting on Christ\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to biblically explore the ultimate ends for which God created and changes human beings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891137298583,"sku":"9798385277513","price":1521.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798385277513.webp?v=1781182504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/putting-on-christ-spiritual-and-bodily-transformation-in-pauline-theology-9798385277513","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
