Through the employment of the work of Slavoj Zizek and his
engagement with the Apostle Paul, Axton argues that Paul in Romans
6-8 understands sin as a lie grounding the subject outside of
Christ, and salvation is an exposure and displacement of this lie.
The theological significance of Zizek (along with Sigmund Freud and
Jacques Lacan) is his demonstration of the pervasive and systemic
nature of this lie and its description as he finds it in Romans 7.
The specific overlap of the two disciplines of psychology and
theology is found in the psychoanalytic understanding that the
human Subject or the psyche is structured in three registers: the
symbolic, the imaginary and the real. These three registers
function like a lie analogous to the Pauline categories of law,
ego, and the 'body of death' which constitute Paul's dynamic of
sin's deception. Axton argues that if sin is understood as a lie
grounding the Subject, the exposure of the lie or the dispelling of
any notion of mystery connected to sin is integral to salvation and
the reconstructing of the Subject in Christ. While the lie of sin
is mediated by the law, new life in the Spirit is not through the
law but is a principle unto itself, which though it accounts for
the law, is beyond the law.
