Does the apostle Paul think those with “desire” always try to obtain negative objects? Are there instances where “desire” is seen positively? Does Paul use this concept differently than other Roman imperial authors? Is “desire” always for objects related to sex? In this study, Andrew Bowden illustrates Paul’s use of “desire” in light of its use in Roman imperial texts and sheds fresh light on this often misunderstood, misconstrued concept.
