Summary
How does Paul understand faith? Benjamin Schließer seeks to answer this question by scrutinizing Paul's exegesis of Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4, taking into account the chapter's textual and thematic links to Romans 3:21-31 and Romans 1:16-17. Compared to his Jewish contemporaries, Paul develops a unique, twofold structure of 'faith' ( Pistis): It designates first a divinely established sphere of power, and second human participation in this reality.
