Beskrivning
What does it mean that the believers are ‘in Christ’ (Rom 8:1; 2 Cor 5:17 etc.)? The phrase has become so common to Christian discourse that it obscures the original meaning. By analysing key passages and stripping back the interpretive layers, this book portrays ‘in Christ’ in the light of Greek language usage. Insights from metaphor theory, onomastics, and ritual theory further the investigation. The book also addresses prepositional phrases like ‘with Christ’ and how ‘in Christ’ developed in the deutero-Pauline letters. This comprehensive perspective illuminates a crucial early-Christian phrase and how believers viewed their relationship to Christ.

“Beyer demonstrates in the context of the ancient Greek-speaking world how Paul’s language could have been readily intelligible as meaning determined by Christ, and her exegetical chapters demonstrate some of the foremost ways that believers are determined by Christ. Beyer’s encyclopedia-like analysis of all the key prepositional constructions related to “being in Christ” in Paul’s epistles is replete with insightful, exegetical gems. [...] Dr. Beyer is to be commended for writing not only such a learned and insightful analysis of a central Pauline theme but one that is such a joy to continue thinking with and alongside of.”– Joshua Roy Heavin, in: Bulletin for Biblical Research 35/2 (2025). “Beyer’s critique of Deissmann and the tradition of interpretation that has grown from him is powerful and persuasive, and I share her view that the “in Christ” phrases refer broadly to being under the authority of Christ. The book combines an interest in theory with historical-critical close reading in a way which is very welcome ... [T]his is an important contribution to a major topic in Pauline studies with which future scholarship will need carefully to engage.”– Teresa Morgan, in: Biblica 106/2 (2025). "Beyer präsentiert mit ihrer veröffentlichten Diss.schrift eine methodisch fundierte, äußerst gründliche und theologisch bedeutsame Studie. […] Der besondere Verdienst von Beyers Studie liegt demnach weniger im konkreten Ergebnis als v. a. in der Erarbeitung einer ausführlichen semantischen und methodischen Begründung für solch ein Verständnis. Hier füllt Beyer tatsächlich in einem bereits vielfach bearbeiteten Feld eine Lücke überzeugend aus. Die übersichtliche und gut lesbare Darstellung, die das intensive Gespräch mit der Sekundärliteratur sucht, ohne sich in ablenkende Nebendebatten zu verlieren, lässt das Buch auch für jene Leserinnen und Leser empfehlen, die nur an einzelnen Teilen interessiert sind". -Ruben A. Bühner, in: Theologische Revue 122/9 (2026).
