Union with Christ in the New Testament is a study of the union
between God and those he has redeemed, as it is represented in the
New Testament. In conversation with historical and systematic
theology, Grant Macaskill argues that the union between God and his
people is consistently represented by the New Testament authors as
covenantal, with the participation of believers in the life of God
specifically mediated by Jesus, the covenant Messiah: hence, it
involves union with Christ. Christ's mediation of divine
participation of believers in the life of God specifically mediated
by Jesus, the covenant Messiah: hence, it involves union with
Christ. Christ's mediation of divine presence is grounded in the
ontology of the Incarnation, the real divinity and real humanity of
his person, and by the full divine personhood of the Holy Spirit,
who unites believers to him in faith. His personal narrative of
death and resurrection is understood in relation to the covenant by
which God's dealings with humanity are ordered. In their union with
him, believers are transformed both morally and noetically, so that
the union has an epistemic dimension, strongly affirmed by the
theological tradition but sometimes confused by scholars with
Platonism. This account is developed in close engagement with the
New Testament texts, read against Jewish backgrounds, and allowed
to inform one another as context. As a 'participatory'
understanding of New Testament soteriology, it is advanced in
distinction to other participatory approaches that are here
considered to be deficient, particularly the so-called
'apocalyptic' approach that is popular in Pauline scholarship, and
those attempts to read New Testament soteriology in terms of
theosis, elements of which are nevertheless affirmed.
