Title
Personhood and Habituation in Paul

NEIL MARTIN


Abstract (from the Editorial of CPTJ vol. 10.1)

Martin’s essay explores how Paul has been viewed as “the apostle of individualism,” against the textual evidence that demonstrates that Paul’s vision of the person is rooted in the dynamic of habituation in community with the past, present, and future. Through this, we can see aspects of how hope shapes us as persons, and why our habituation is essential to understanding hope.
