dc.description.abstract<p> Paul, the author of Gal 3:23-4:7 and Rom 8:14-25, demonstrates in these two passages a new thing for all believers in Christ-a clear movement from slavery to adoption as sons to the status of heirs. This movement occurs through the process of adoption into God's family and is characterized by inclusiveness regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or gender. This study will explore the promise that the marginalized can participate in a full, new creation inheritance. According to the promise of Rom 4:13, the dispossessed will "inherit the world." This concept of the new creation so clearly seen in Rom 8-expressed also as inheriting the world in Rom 4:13-is critical for correctly interpreting Gal 3:28, framed as it is in a discussion of inheritance and adoption. For this reason, it is of great benefit to study Gal 3:23-4:7 and Rom 8:14-25 together.</p>en_US
