Glaube in den Pastoralbriefen
Pistis als Mitte christlicher Existenz
by Bernhard Mutschler
English summary: The Pastoral Epistles speak more than other early Christian scriptures about faith ( pistis ), and they do it differently than Paul does. An interpretation of all the records of faith (pistis word family) shows that the scope of pistis in the Corpus Pastorale is huge. On the one hand, it is a primary word, framing all references of Christian life, and on the other hand it is completely determined by the relation to Christ and/or God. Thus faith has an integrating character, and at the same time it indicates the center of Christian existence. At the beginning of this first monograph about faith in the Pastoral Epistles, the author examines some fundamental terms, such as faith, pistis, fides/credere as well as the Corpus Pastorale, the Pastoral Epistles or the TritoPaulines. German description: Vom Glauben (Pistis) ist in den Pastoralbriefen in vielfachen Kontexten und mehr als in anderen fruhchristlichen Schriften die Rede. Trotz des sehr engen Anschlusses an Paulus sind aber z.B. nicht die Werke des Gesetzes als Gegensatz im Blick. Eine Auslegung samtlicher Belege zeigt, dass Pistis im Corpus Pastorale eine grosse Breite aufweist: Glaube bildet einerseits eine Art Rahmenbegriff und Grundwort fur das Christliche uberhaupt und bleibt andererseits christologisch bestimmt; er bildet die Grundrelation zwischen Gott und Mensch und stellt eine belastbare Basis der Gemeinschaft dar. Pistis hat integrierenden Charakter und bezeichnet die Mitte christlicher Existenz . Zu Beginn der bisher einzigen Monographie zum Thema untersucht Bernhard Mutschler die Begriffe Glaube/glauben, Pistis/pisteuein, fides/credere sowie Pastoralbriefe, Corpus Pastorale und Tritopaulinen ausfuhrlich.
