ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

The Apostle Paul “uses the phrase ‘in Christ’ (ἐν Χριστῷ) seventy-three times. When we add other ways of expressing union with or participation in Christ (e.g., ‘in him,’ ‘with Christ,’ ‘through Christ’), the number of Pauline instances more than doubles to 164 instances” (Kevin Vanhoozer). The expression works in two directions. While Christ dwells in believers, it is believers who find their identity and purpose from being “in Christ Jesus”. It is only fitting this site be titled ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ (in Christ Jesus).

Paul D. AdamsContent here represents my reading and research in theology, philosophy, apologetics, and Christian thought. The debt I owe to those who have written so well is so very large and I am grateful for their inspiration and companionship on my journey of faith. I could not have penned a fraction of these gleanings were it not for their input into my intellectual and spiritual life. I'm thankful also for your patient reading and listening to the content here.
