Описание
The notion of the imitation of Christ is key concept that has been used in history to express the relationship that exists between christology and Christian ethical reflection and action. However, despite its prevalence, there is a continued tendency within scholarship to either reject it in toto or de-emphasize its importance. This research challenges such tendencies and contends that Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, uses the story of Christ (2:5-11) and his story (3:4-14), which is patterned after that of Christ, to provide an essential and consistent imitative paradigm for Christian ethical reflection and action.
