Christ and Adam: Man and Humanity in Romans 5

The fifth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, on which Barth here fixes his attention, has been of special importance in the history of Christian thought.

Romans 5:5 the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit furnished the Scriptural basis for the theology of grace and the sacraments, chiefly in relation to the word ekkechutai which in later versions is translated by is shed abroad but was rendered in the Vulgate by infusa est (was infused ).
