Description
Das Gesetz steht im Epizentrum der aktuellen Forschung zu Paulus. Die Interpretation dieses umstrittenen Themas begann vor den Paulusbriefen und fand seinen Weg in selbige, indem Paulus selbst erwähnte, wie andere seine Theologie verstanden und Gerüchte und Kritik wiedergab und dadurch mit ihnen interagierte. Zu dieser rezeptionsorientierten Perspektive gehören auch Strafmaßnahmen, die von Synagogen gegen Paulus verhängt wurden. Zur Rezeption des Paulus wird auch die Apostelgeschichte herangezogen, die ein komplexeres Bild bietet als das, welches von Paulus' Fürsprechern innerhalb des Judentums geliefert wird. Daher deckt Karl Olav Sandnes die erste Interpretation oder Rezeption von Paulus' Verständnis der Tora auf. Es ist in seiner Reichweite eingeschränkt, bietet aber einen kritischen und nötigen Blick auf verbreitete Tendenzen in der Paulusforschung. Paulus Dezentrierung der Tora wurde als Gefahr für die Moral angesehen, sowohl für Juden als auch für Heiden. Die Wahrnehmung der Theologie des Paulus muss in der Paulusforschung berücksichtigt werden.
