The pattern portrayed in the New Testament is that every Christian is part of the body of Christ, and the function of Christ's body is to be incarnational, to be Jesus Christ for th ..."

form, since the passage is very carefully constructed. In a brief essay entitled “
Paul and Christian Unity: A Formal Analysis of Philippians 2:1–4,”1 I have
attempted to shed some light on th ..."

"Realistically applied to the New Testament the term must allow for errors in the
transmission of the text. Unfortunately, the misuse of this word is bandied around
rather like the use of “infallibility” when applied to ex cathedra pronouncements
by the Pope. We may argue that the original authors of the biblical texts were
themselves inspired but to pretend that their words were transmitted unchanged
is stretching credulity to its ..."
