From its context in German Protestant theology, Käsemann's Pauline interpretation is systematically analysed and emphasis is given to the major theological themes which identify the continuing significance of his interpretation.
In the English-speaking world Ernst Käsemann''s name is associated primarily with the renewed quest for the historical Jesus which he helped to initiate in the mid-1950s. In addition he is well known for his passionate theological commitment, and for the highly polemical character and sheer difficulty of his writing. There is less appreciation of the breadth of Käsemann''s interests, the system of his thought, and the key role of his understanding of Pauline theology within the whole.This study, the first of any length to be written in English, seeks to redress this imbalance. Dr Way traces Käsemann''s views from his doctoral dissertation to his magnum opus, the Commentary on Romans. From its context in German Protestant theology, Käsemann''s Pauline interpretation is systematically analysed and emphasis is given to the major theological themes which identify the continuing significance of his interpretation to biblical scholars and the Church. Certain unpublished lectures and letters are referred to in tracing Käsemann''s views, and the influence of this most provocative of Rudolf Bultmann''s students on contemporary New Testament scholarship is assessed.
