Pros Romaious; The Letter to the Romans

Japanese: ローマ人への手紙 - ローマびとへのてがみ(英語表記)Pros Romaious; The Letter to the Romans
Pros Romaious; The Letter to the Romans
One of Paul's letters in the New Testament. Also called the Epistle to the Romans. Probably written around 57, it is one of the most important of Paul's letters, and was a major theological source from Augustine to K. Barth. The Roman Church, to which it was addressed, was not founded by Paul, and Paul is thought to have expressed his views on the gospel to the Church of Rome in order to make Rome the starting point of his mission to Europe. It is in the form of a letter, but is a theological book with a systematic structure under the theme, "The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. The righteousness of God is revealed in it, from faith to faith" (Chapter 1, 16-17). In the first part (Chapters 1-8), the doctrine of justification by faith is explained using the example of Abraham, stating that "a man is justified by faith and not by works of the law" (Chapter 3, 28). The second part (chapters 9-16) discusses the history of the salvation of Israel, the issue of the salvation of the Gentiles, Christian ethics, and the relationship between those with weak and strong faith. It has also had a significant influence on modern theology through K. Barth's Der Römerbrief (1919).

新約聖書のパウロ書簡の一つ。ローマ書ともいう。おそらく 57年頃書かれ,パウロ書簡中最も重要なものの一つで,アウグスチヌスから K.バルトにいたるまで神学上の有力な典拠となった。あて先のローマ教会はパウロの創設によるものではなく,パウロはローマをヨーロッパ伝道の起点とすべくローマ教会にその福音についての見解を示したと思われる。書簡の体裁をとるが,「福音は,ユダヤ人をはじめ,ギリシア人にも,すべて信じる者に,救いを得させる神の力である。神の義は,その福音のなかに啓示され,信仰に始り信仰にいたらせる」 (1章 16~17) という主題のもとに組織的な構成をもつ神学書。第1部 (1~8章) では「人が義とされるのは律法の行いによるのではなく信仰によるのである」 (3章 28) という信仰義認説がアブラハムの例によって説かれている。第2部 (9~16章) ではイスラエルの救いの歴史と異邦人の救いの問題,キリスト教の倫理,信仰の弱い者と強い者との関係についてそれぞれ述べられている。現代神学においても,K.バルトの『ローマ書』 Der Römerbrief (1919) を介して,重大な影響を及ぼしている。
