Abstract
AbstractIt is an open question how important the death of Jesus is in Lukan theology. The logic of narration in the Gospel and in Acts may help to find a new argument. The prophecy of Simeon identifies the dialectic of falling and rising as structure of Lukan soteriology. In this framework various motives – the persecuted prophet, the contrast of death and resurrection, and the “must” of the passion – get their specific meaning. At the end of both, the ministry of Jesus and the public mission of Paul, in the inner circle of followers the death of Jesus is proclaimed as decisive mean of eschatological salvation.
