Striving for perfect faith according to the Epistle of James
German textIn dieser Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob der Jakobusbrief den Weg zum
vollkommenen Glauben zeigt. Dazu wird zunächst die Berechtigung einer solchen
Fragestellung anhand der neueren Forschung aufgezeigt. Dann werden in knapper Form
allgemeine Fragen zum Jakobusbrief behandelt, bevor die beiden Zentralbegriffe dieser
Studie untersucht werden: Glaube und vollkommen. Um eine inhaltliche Definition dieser
Begriffe im Jakobusbrief geben zu können, wird zunächst dargelegt, welche sprachlichen
bzw. inhaltlichen Kontexte in der damaligen Zeit gegeben waren und den Schreiber des
Jakobusbriefes beeinflusst haben könnten. Die so gewonnenen Ergebnisse fließen sodann in
die Untersuchung von Jakobus 2 ein. Dabei werden unter BerĂĽcksichtigung des rhetorischen
Aufbaus, der sprachlichen Besonderheiten und der kulturellen Gegebenheiten die Verse
Jakobus 2:1-13 und 2:14-26 untersucht. Hierbei ist das Beispiel von Abrahams Glauben in
Jakobus 2:22 von besonderer Bedeutung. AbschlieĂźend wird eine Antwort auf die eingangs
aufgeworfene Frage gegeben.This thesis examines whether and in what way the Epistle of James shows the way to perfect
faith. A detailed survey of research indicates that this is an important and relevant question
that has, as yet, not been adequately examined. General questions about the Epistle of James
are addressed before a detailed analysis of the central terminology of this study, the language
of faith and of perfection. Assessment of this terminology requires an understanding of
which linguistic and other contexts were prevalent at the time of writing and how these may
have influenced the author. The results of these analyses are included in a detailed exegesis
of James 2:1-26 (which constitutes the main part of the thesis). Close attention is paid to the
rhetorical structure, the linguistic features and the cultural background of the passage. This
thesis argues that the example of Abraham’s faith in James 2:22 is of special significance in
the argumentation of the letter and in the quest for perfect faith. The conclusion confirms the
notion that the Letter of James makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of faith and
its perfection. This thesis also draws out certain implications for New Testament theology,
the contemporary church and society at large.New TestamentM. Th. (New Testament
