Jüngerberufung und Zuwendung zu Gott

Matthew 9:9-13 is a paradigmatic text for the soteriology of the Gospel of Matthew, which differs significantly from the other New Testament concepts. In this work, Christof Landmesser gives an exact linguistic and historical analysis of this pericope in the context of the entire Gospel of Matthew. In order to understand the text, it is important to be aware of the references to the Old Testament. The author shows that in Matthew there is talk of a secondary conditioning of salvation.The disciple is required to commit himself completely to God. Thus the connection between soteriology and Christology proves to be highly significant for current theological theory formation.
