I am working on Rom 8:1-17 where Paul uses the language of "adoption as sons"
(huiothesein). Can anyone point me to studies of this term which specify who
might be
the object of the adoption? Ultimately I am trying to determine whether this
should
be read as a gender inclusive or exclusive term in this context; Castelli
argued it
should be read exclusively because there are no attestations of the term
being used
for adoption of women as heirs. Is there a comparable term for women? Any
help will
be appreciated. SEM
