This internal dualism between the forces of ''flesh'' and ''Spirit'' emerges as both a central paradigm for the spiritual life and a major construct in approaching Paul''s theology. It is the central thesis of this book that this internal dualism, while accurate in some respects, is nonetheless significantly flawed in viewing ''flesh'' and ''Spirit'' as an internal polarity.
