The Theology of the Cross in the Pauline Corpus: perspectives from the New Testament and from its reception
Abstract
Die Kreuzestheologie erlebt seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine anhaltende
Renaissance. Die vorgelegten Beiträge gehen zwar von gemeinsamen Wurzeln aus,
verzweigen sich jedoch in vielfältige, teilweise disparate Entwürfe. Deshalb ist neu zu
fragen, was Kreuzestheologie ist. Die Antwort wird in sieben Schriften des Corpus
Paulinum gesucht, welche auf ihren kreuzestheologischen Gehalt befragt werden.
Dabei zeigt sich trotz unterschiedlich häufiger Verwendung der kreuzestheologischen
Begriffe durchwegs die entscheidende Bedeutung des Kreuzes Jesu in den
theologischen Grundlinien. Kreuzesaussagen erscheinen immer im Zusammenhang mit
den zentralen Thesen der paulinischen Briefe. Der exegetische Befund führt zum
Schluss, dass bei der paulinischen Kreuzestheologie von einem theologischen Ansatz
zu sprechen ist, der zurecht umfassenden und kritischen Anspruch auf christliche
Theologie und kirchliche Praxis erhebt.
The “theology of the cross” has seen a remarkable come-back since the beginning of 20th century. While the various contributions share similar roots, they differ widely in their approaches and constructions. Therefore, the simple question regarding the nature of a theology of the cross has to be raised again. This study seeks answers in seven writings of the Corpus Paulinum, which will be examined for their use of references to Jesus’ death on the cross. Although these letters differ significantly in their use of crossrelated terminology, they consistently testify to the crucial significance of the cross of Jesus in their theological paradigm. Statements about the cross are always an essential ingredient in the argumentation of these letters. The exegetical survey leads to the conclusion that Pauline theology of the cross is an all-encompassing and critical approach and principle for Christian theology and ecclesial practice.
