Corporate personality

The notion of Old Testament corporate personality encompasses four things: In Pauline theology, the notion of corporate personality is largely restricted to its representational aspect. Paul's comparison between Jesus Christ and Adam is viewed, by those theologians that adhere to the notion, as an identification of Christ as the king and those people in the kingdom that he leads. Similarly, in his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul speaks of Gentiles being blessed both 'in' Abraham1 and also 'with' him—which these theologians hold to be another example of corporate personality in Paul's writings.
