Description: This confused and easily misinterpreted and applied text of Scripture is clearly unraveled in this scholarly, yet very readable work.
Middendorf has adept capabilities both with the Greek of the New Testament text as well as the scholarly opinions on this text, and he summarized them well.
The opposing opinions other than the apostle Paul as the "I" are each weighed through as to the evidence from the Scriptures, i.e. the "I" as Adam, Israel, transpersonal and combinations of these are all looked at in the pro-con format.
Realizing that what one takes from this text will then greatly affect one's whole approach to Pauline theology, this book succinctly points one in the correct direction.
