Abstract

"Although Paul uses the "with Christ" motif 36 times in his letters, few extended treatments of the theme have been attempted. Some authors have touched on the idea in passing, but more attention has been given to Paul's use of "in Christ."1 When the "with Christ" concept is addressed, it is frequently associated with Paul's eschatology. There is evidence, however, that the phrase relates equally well to the Christian's redemption and new life in Christ. The following study will seek to examine the available data and reach some conclusions about how Paul uses the phrase "with Christ""
