{"product_id":"adopted-into-gods-family","title":"Adopted Into God's Family","description":"` ... you received the Spirit of adoption' (Romans 8:15)\nThe relationship between God and his people is understood in various ways\nby the biblical writers, and it is arguably the apostle Paul who uses the\nrichest vocabulary.\n\nUnique to Paul's writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of\nbeing `adopted as son(s)'. It occurs five times in three of his letters,\nwhere it functions as a key theological metaphor.\n\nTrevor Burke argues that huiothesia has been misunderstood, misrepresented,\nor neglected through scholarly preoccupation with its cultural background.\nHe redresses the balance in this comprehensive study, which discusses\nmetaphor theory; explores the background to huiothesia; considers the roles\nof the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; examines the moral implications of\nadoption, and its relationship with honour; and concludes with the\nconsequences for Christian believers as they live in the tension between\nthe `now' and the `not yet' of their adoption into God's new family.","brand":"Trevor J.
