WISSENSCHAFTLICHE UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUM NEUEN TEST...

The study of in Christ language in New Testament scholarship has received widespread attention
in recent years. Nevertheless  despite all the perspectives from which scholars have treated
this topic  one aspect of in Christ language has received only scant attention: its ritual or
sacramental aspect. While theological  epistemological  and linguistic factors have contributed
to the downplaying of rituals like baptism and the Lord's Supper in the New Testament  Yu Chen
develops the framework of a ritual transformation model from ritual theories to place the study
of ritual in its rightful place. Accordingly  the author focuses on the historical and social
implications of the ritual performance of baptism and the Lord's Supper  which are used to
explain the mechanisms of union with Christ. Finally  he argues that rituals provide
participants with access to the transformative experience of encountering the risen Messiah.
