Christianity; New Testaments; Christian theology

For centuries, Christian theology has inherited interpretations that miss the pulse of the apostolic witness. Among the most misunderstood is Pauline huiothesia--commonly translated as ""adoption."" In this bold and provocative work, the author challenges that rendering, unveiling instead a vision of mature sonship (huio-ship) rooted in Pauline spirituality, existential authenticity, and pneumatic transformation. Drawing on biblical exegesis, historical theology, and existential thought, this book journeys from the shadows of inherited tradition to the reality of the text itself. It is not merely a correction of language but a call to recover the divine logic of salvation. For theologians, biblical scholars, and seekers of truth, this is more than a scholarly intervention--it is a challenge to inherited theology.

Reviews for Adoption Reimagined

""I deeply appreciate the publication of this book. The author has taken a bold step in offering an alternative understanding of huiothesia (adoption) in Paul's writings--an interpretation that has traditionally been carried forward in many theological discussions. The author conveys the impression that interpreters may have thus far misunderstood the very 'pulse' of the apostle's message. Of course, this alternative reading remains open to critique and further debate in the ongoing theological discourses. I endorse this book to be read by those who are interested in theological discourses."" --A. A. Yewangoe, Lecturer of Theology, Theological Seminary Moriah, Tangerang, Indonesia
