Title
The Forgiveness-Based Virtue of the New Creation: The New "Sociological" Location of the Believer
Scott Hafemann
Abstract (from the Editorial of BET vol. 8.1)
Scott Hafemann explores the relation between the new and the old in 2 Corinthians 5, arguing that it is the eschatological social location of the new creation that calls us to live the cross-shaped life, a way of life that has forgiveness at its very core. Hafemann explores the pastoral guidance that Paul gives the Corinthian believers in his call to love one another, a love which is lived out in forgiving relationships among the new community.
