Beschreibung:
  • In view of some Pauline sounding phrases, Eph 2.8-9 is held to be one of the most adequate receptions of the theologoumenon of justification by faith, not works. So could the text be an indicator in the discussion about the right Perspective on Paul? This paper argues instead that we should read Eph 2.8-9 in its own context and that means first of all that we should follow the flow of the dominant metaphor of dead and alive. While some phrases might be a Pauline reminiscence, the text as a whole deals with the grace of God in order to substantiate the demand for a life lived according to God's will, as described in greater detail in Ephesians 46. Nevertheless Eph 2.1-10 is broadly coherent with Paul's theology. © 2011 Cambridge University Press.
