Der Skopos der paulinischen Rechtfertigungslehre : Exegetische Interpretationen in ökumenischer Absicht

Paul interprets the 'Gospel of Jesus Christ' (Rom 1:2f) as the gospel of the 'justice of God' (Rom 1:16f) in order to show Jesus as the crucified and resurrected Son of God, to see clearly the grace of God, to justify the hope that Jews and Pagans will be saved by God and to lead Christians to the freedom of faith. The critical reappraisal of the new exegetical debate on the interpretation of Paul has given the ecumenical movement which is oriented toward the 'truth of the gospel' (Gal 2:5, 14) new momentum.
