Modern scholarship tends to understand Paulâs use of creation language (κÏá½·ÏιÏ) in Rom 8.18â23 as part of a commentary on the state of sub-human creation. 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 Paulâs use of κÏá½·ÏÎ¹Ï through a robust corpus analysis and investigation into the word's role within the paragraph. κÏá½·ÏÎ¹Ï contributes to the cohesive structure of Rom 8.18â23 andâcontra the majority of interpretersâfunctions as a metaphor for the human body.
Gregory P. Fewster is a graduate of McMaster Divinity College and is Adjunct Instructor of Greek at Great Lakes Bible College in Waterloo, Ontario. He serves as Associate Editor for the journal Biblical and Ancient Greek Linguistics.
