Paulus und Johannes

This volume presents essays on Paul and the Gospel of John written by leading German, Norwegian and Swiss New Testament scholars. They deal with central issues of Pauline and Johannine interpretation, for example the religious-historical background and function of dualism in the Gospel of John, the hermeneutical problem of Johannine metaphors, the structure of arguments in Rom 5, Israel's rejection and acceptance according to Rom 9-11, the formcritical definition of the letter to the Galatians, and the phrase »works of the law«, in particular the way it is seen in the 'new perspectives on Paul'. The final essay in the book discusses common features and differences between Pauline and Johannine literature.
