Sünde und Rechtfertigung bei Paulus
Book Description
In this comprehensive theological exploration, Eun-Geol Lyu challenges conventional Christian interpretations of Paul's understanding of sin and presents a fresh perspective on one of Christianity's most fundamental doctrines. Rather than focusing primarily on debates about religious law, Lyu argues that Paul's concept of sin itself forms the cornerstone of his theological framework.
The author reconstructs Paul's doctrine of justification through three distinct theological lenses: atonement theology, non-imputation theology, and liberation theology. This innovative approach reveals how Paul's unique conception of sin operates on multiple levels throughout his writings. Sometimes sin appears as a transgression requiring atonement, other times as an offense that need not be counted against the believer, and in Romans, as a powerful force from which humanity must be freed.
Lyu demonstrates how these varied presentations of sin reflect Paul's unwavering commitment to a central anthropological principle that underlies his entire understanding of salvation: all people are sinners. By placing sin rather than legal disputes at the heart of Pauline theology, this work offers readers a deeper understanding of how early Christian thought addressed fundamental questions about human nature, divine justice, and spiritual redemption.
This scholarly yet accessible study provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the theological foundations that continue to shape Christian spirituality and concepts of personal transformation.
