About the Book

This examination of Gentile and Jewish religious and literary descriptions of sacrificial and expulsion rituals provides a useful background to the study of Paul’s metaphorical use of sacrifice and scapegoat to characterize the significance of the death of Jesus. In addition to offering an overview of Paul’s use of cultic metaphors and an assessment of Paul’s synthesis of martyrology and cultic metaphor, this work shows how Paul uses still other metaphors (acquittal, reconciliation, adoption) to picture the beneficial after-effects of that death. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)

About the Author :
Stephen Finlan, Ph.D. (2004) in New Testament, University of Durham, is a researcher at Drew University and teaches at Middlesex County College in Edison, New Jersey.

Review :
'Finlan’s monograph is sweeping. He consistently engages a wide range of literature and scholarship, taking the time to include extended discussions with scholars with whom he disagrees. As such, this work will richly reward the informed reader and prove an invaluable resource for those who seek to gain a fuller understanding of Paul’s soteriological language.' Christopher Mcmahon, Review of Biblical Literature, 2005. 'Finlan's scholarship makes an important contribution to the discussion of Paul's metaphors. The author's analysis and explication of Paul's cultic metaphors will be of value to students of Pauline theology as well as to those who are interested in ancient concepts of atonement.' Susan Haber, Review of Biblical Literature, 2005.
