44. The Solidarity of Man
Tom Hamilton The idea of a first and therefore last Adam is very ancient in Hebrew thought. They believed in a last Adam which was to come in as much as they believed in the first. Paul, therefore, in writing to the church at Corinth, used these precise terms to show, on the one hand, […]
