Taking Romans 5:1–5 as a blueprint for a trajectory of hope in chapters 5–8, I discuss three textual “detours” where Paul interrupts that trajectory: a rhetorical perfor mance of life under sin (7:7–25), a depiction of union with all creation in suffering and hope (8:18–27), and a cry of lament (8:26). These rhetorical interruptions evoke Christian experience in solidarity with all creation ‒ a solidarity that in turn displays Christ’s redemptive participation in the depths of all human dereliction, and thereby evokes hope.enCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaChristian experiencerhetoricsolidaritylamenthopedoświadczenie chrześcijańkieretorykasolidarnośćnadziejachrześcijaństwodoświadczenielogikalogika solidarnościPaweł apostołList do Rzymianlisty św.
