De Gruyter Gericht und Gemeinde - Paulinische Ekklesiologie

Gericht und Gemeinde offers a specialized academic study on the meaning and function of judicial statements within Pauline ecclesiology and ethics. Rather than looking at these statements through a single lens of justification by faith, this work places them directly into the context of how Paul uses judgment themes to shape the community and set markers for Christian change. Focusing specifically on the First Epistle to the Thessalonians and the First Epistle to the Corinthians, this research provides a deep look into the practical application of Pauls theology. It explores how these judicial elements serve as tools for community formation and ethical guidance. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and students engaged in New Testament studies, particularly those interested in the intersection of Pauline ethics and the structure of the early church.
