Description
Summary:In the following, it was assumed that the term law does not only refer to the binding regulations in a society or institution, but also to those sources of standards that flow into certain rights and therefore retroactively acquire indirect legal quality. Thus, there are genuine areas of law and those areas that are treated as law, such as moral principles (sections 8–9) or even like the „laws“ of professionalism (section 7). So right and grace have a rather peculiar and complex relationship: it would be too easy to oppose them. In many cases, they are intertwined, they can increase each other, but they can also come into conflict in such a way that either the law minimizes grace or that grace interrupts the law. The substantive perspective I choose here is a Christian central one, namely the theology of grace. This is the religious perspective that guides me here: as in the interruption of the law by grace (sections 5–6), but also in the universalization of grace by law (section 2). When is grace arbitrariness (section 1)? When does grace get its right (section 2)? When can law be experienced as grace? When does grace pave the law (section 3) and when does law hinder grace (section 5–6)? Where does the law have in itself a transcendence to grace (section 4)? In short, it is about a critical hermeneutic of the law from the perspective of grace, with special consideration of pastoral theological consequences and experiences.
