碩士 === 中原大學 === 宗教研究所 === 101 === This paper will analyze Pauline perspective of death, through his importance in the New Testament Epistle to understand his attitude toward death. From the Biblical view we know that sin brought death. Christian faith hopes in the process of atonement that we can overcome death, because Jesus died on the cross for our sins is made salvation. This thesis is going to analyze many key verses regarding death, sin, resurrection and reconciliation on Paul's letters to Churches in the New Testament. And it will focuses on Paul's understanding of how Jesus’ death brings the forgiveness of sins, and resurrection of Jesus Christ breaks the chains of death, to restore a right relationship with God. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, death was changed, creating a new relationship between life and death, people either "from life into death", but also "from death into life."
