The dual terms Law and Gospel, Faith and Good Deeds, Old and New Covenant, Promise and Fulfilment have been central to Lutheran hermeneutics. They do have an ambivalent history: Lutheran theology, piety, and homiletics have relied on them as the key to an existential and theological understanding of biblical texts. At the same time they have been used much too often as a means to debase Jewish religion. The Bishops’ Conference of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany (VELKD) assigned an examination of these terms and their use to the Theological Board of VELKD. The collection of essays is the result of this examination: Various disciplines of Theology give an insight into the formation, meaning and development of the “dual terms”, the dangers and how to avoid them, current aesthetics to these terms and possibilities to further use them, against the background of the Jewish-Christian dialogue.
