Paul and the Power of Sin: Redefining "Beyond the Pale" (2002) is a book by Timothy Leonard Carter.

Abstract

"Paul and the Power of Sin seeks to ground Paul's language of sin in the socio-cultural context of his original letters. T. L. Carter draws on the work of social anthropologist Mary Douglas to conduct a cross-cultural analysis of the symbolism of the power of sin in the letters, examining thoroughly Douglas' 'Grid and Group' model and defending its use as a heuristic tool for New Testament scholars. He also offers a fresh insight into key passages from 1 Corinthians, Galatians and Romans."--Publisher description.
