Aspects of Soteriology in John and Paul

Zusatztext

This volume deals with aspects of soteriology in John and Paul. While it does not primarily focus on comparing their soteriological perspectives, such comparisons are not excluded. Instead, the emphasis is on different aspects of John's and Paul's respective views on salvation. The themes addressed do not repeat 'standard' soteriological issues, but highlight often-neglected aspects, resulting in a thought-provoking and challenging series of articles. Topics discussed include Jesus as the Holy One, the position of the Jesus's brothers, the soteriological role of angels in John, wisdom in John, volition in John, freedom in Paul, salvation as war in Paul, and participation as key soteriological category in John and Paul. The in-depth discussions of these and other themes enrich our understanding of soteriology in John and Paul.
