Synopsis

English summary: Martin Vahrenhorst deals with the Epistles which are generally thought to have been written by Paul, studying their contexts in the history of religion and their cultic passages. What is conspicuous here is that the Epistle to the Galatians is the only one which is different from the others. Instead of using cultic language in this, Paul increasing falls back upon the word justice, which had already been used occasionally in previous Epistles parallel to the cultic terminology. Thus this study of cultic language in Paul’s Epistles gives a special outlook on the continuity and the developments in Pauline thought. German description: Die paulinischen Briefe sind durchzogen von Passagen, in denen Paulus sich einer Sprache bedient, die kultisch konnotiert ist. Paulus teilt den Adressaten seiner Briefe in kultisch gepragter Sprache wesentliches uber ihr Verhaltnis zu Gott, den sich daraus ergebenden ethischen Konsequenzen, den Transfer auf die Seite Gottes und die Rolle des Apostels in diesem Prozess mit. Die Untersuchung paganer und judischer Kultzusammenhange lasst grosse Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Kultvollzugen Israels und denen paganer Kulte erkennen, die in dieser Studie vor allem anhand der Leges Sacrae in den Blick genommen werden. So erweist sich die heute fremde Sprache des Kultes als gemeinsame Basis, auf der sich Paulus und seine nichtjudischen Adressaten begegnen und verstehen konnten. Martin Vahrenhorst untersucht die religionsgeschichtlichen Kontexte und die kultisch gepragten Passagen in den gemeinhin fur paulinisch gehaltenen Briefen. Aus dem beschriebenen Rahmen fallt allein der Galaterbrief heraus. Hier greift Paulus anstelle der kultischen Sprache verstarkt auf das Wortfeld Gerechtigkeit zuruck, das schon in fruheren Briefen gelegentlich parallel zur kultischen Begrifflichkeit verwendet wird. Eignete sich dieses Wortfeld besser zur Auseinandersetzung mit den Gegnern des Paulus, die gerade um der Heiligkeit willen den Ubertritt zum Judentum propagieren konnten? Kontinuitaten und Entwicklungen im paulinischen Denken konnen anhand der Untersuchung der kultischen Sprache in den Paulusbriefen in besonderer Weise sichtbar werden.
