Schoonenberg considered \u2018the flesh\u2019 in the context of concupiscence and bondage.<\/p>\n
He asked: How does this word appear in history?<\/p>\n
The term \u2018flesh\u2019 derives in part from the Greek world. The Greeks came to see that \u2018the flesh\u2019 was opposed to \u2018reason\u2019.<\/p>\n
In the Old Testament, \u2018the flesh\u2019 was opposed to \u2018the Providence of God\u2019.<\/p>\n
[Notably, Schoonenberg did not mention the older opposition, flesh versus blood & bones. Obviously, blood & bones were attuned to the Providence of God.]<\/p>\n
In the New Testament, flesh joins desire as \u2018belonging to the world\u2019 as opposed to \u2018belonging to the Father (1 John 2:16)\u2019.<\/p>\n
Schoonenberg concluded that \u2018concupiscence\u2019 is a pejorative term that represents the tendency toward sin within man or mankind as it stands under sin<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary of text [comment] page 82 Schoonenberg considered \u2018the flesh\u2019 in the context of concupiscence and bondage.
