Abraham's Faith in Romans 4

Más información sobre el libro

At the heart of this exploration is the concept of faith as articulated in Paul's theology, particularly through Genesis 15:6. Benjamin Schließer delves into the historical scholarship surrounding this idea and conducts a thorough exegesis of the verse, emphasizing key terms like "count," "righteousness," and "believe." He examines the implications of Abraham's testimony for Jewish identity and traces its reception across various texts from the Old Testament and Second Temple Judaism. Ultimately, Schließer investigates Paul's interpretation in Romans, revealing a dual structure of faith that encompasses divine authority and individual belief within the community.
