Theologie des Lebens bei Paulus und Johannes

In this study of the Pauline letters and the Gospel according to John, Nadine Ueberschaer argues that Paul and John - independently of one another - developed a theology of life from pre-Pauline traditions of faith, which are still identifiable in summaria of faith. Paul and John independently refined the pre-Pauline kerygma of Jesus' death and resurrection by interpreting it with life terminology. The results are the Pauline and Johannine summaria of faith, which are characteristic for each of them and in which they both communicate the value of Jesus' death and resurrection for one's own existence. In this theological-conceptual comparative study, analogies of Paul's and John's concepts of life are comprehensively explored for the first time.
