»In Christ« in Paul

Vor beinahe 35 Jahren machte E.P. Sanders die berühmte Aussage, dass der zentrale Gedanke in der Theologie des Paulus in der Teilhabe läge - was natürlich eine große Debatte innerhalb der paulinischen Forschung auslöste. Sanders meinte auch, dass wir keine moderne Vorstellung davon haben, was dieser Gedanke heutzutage für uns bedeutet. Diese beiden Axiome bilden das grobe Gerüst für die Beiträge dieses Bandes, die die komplexen Gedankengänge von Einheit und Partizipation innerhalb der paulinischen Theologie durch Exegese, Höhepunkte in der Rezeptionsgeschichte und theologische Reflektion untersuchen.Kevin J.
