The article addresses the meaning of the two notions of God’s and human δικαιοσύνη (‘justice’) as employed in Rom 3.21–5.11. Special focus is given to the function of God’s χάρις (‘gift’) and the resulting πίστις (‘trust’) in chapter 4. The core text of 3.21–5.11 is first situated within the argument of Rom 1.18–8.39 as a whole, with summarizing an...

This thesis argues that recognising children's presence in community and society is important for reading the social context of 1 Thessalonians and so essential for interpreting the text. Children are generally overlooked in New Testament interpretation, even that concerned with original social contexts. The growing biblical scholarship specificall...
Hase, Luke
This thesis undertakes a fundamental rethinking of ‘myth’ as a heuristic analytical tool in Pauline studies. It contends that the discipline’s longstanding resistance to, and insufficient engagement with, the concept of myth has deprived scholars of a rich and illuminating means of interpreting Paul’s letters. It first appraises the reception of ‘m...

This article deals with the issue of the collection and formation of the Corpus Paulinum. It argues that a collection of Pauline letters to seven churches was crucial to this development.

The focus of this thesis lies most broadly ...

In this essay, two forms of apocalyptic interpretation of Galatians are presented – a “perfected” and a “non-perfected” apocalyptic interpretation in relation to two key test cases: Gal 4,4–5 and 6,16. That discussion then requires a survey of Paul’s disc...

This study addresses the text-critical problem of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. It examines whether the assertion that women should be silent and subordinate in the churches was an original part of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians or a later addition. Resolving this matter is significant as 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is the cornerstone for all debates ...
Marjot, Oliver
This thesis is a comparative study of select theological themes in Matthew’s Gospel and Paul’s letter to the Romans. Written in the light of current trends to read both texts ‘within Judaism’, as well as in response to suggestions of a fundamental theological incompatibility between the Matthean and Pauline perspectives in the work of David Sim, Be...
