Die Starken und die Schwachen in Korinth und in Rom

Zusatztext

Volker Gäckle studies the identity of the parties to the conflict in 1 Cor 8:1-11:1 and Rom 14:1-15:13, who were characterized as "weak" and in Rome as "strong" as well. In addition to a theological and sociological profile of each of the groups, the author focuses on the origin of the antithetic group attributes, their background in the history of ideas and their function in the conflict on the one hand and in Pauline argumentation on the other hand. He also shows the way the two texts are connected and how Pauline argumentation fits in with the overall picture of Pauline theology, especially in the context of the theology of the cross which he developed in 1 and 2 Corinthians.
