Pauline theology has recently experienced a significant surge in interest within both Protestant and Roman Catholic theology, with scholars proposing different theological concepts that they find to be the heart of Paul’s gospel. Yet, none of these proposals regarding the heart of Paul’s gospel have proved as ecumenically useful as one might hope. This essay proposes a more ecumenically fruitful perspective on Paul’s gospel that sees not a “what” but a “who” at the center, namely, the person of Jesus. This proposal is not new, as one can see in the writings of major theologians of three great Christian traditions— Cyril of Alexandria, Martin Chemnitz, and Benedict XVI—which this essay presents before considering the ecumenical utility of such a christocentric approach.

 概要：

最近，新教和罗马天主教神学对保罗神学的兴趣大幅增加，学者们提出了不同的神学概念，他们发现这些概念是保罗福音的核心。然而，这些关于保罗福音核心的建议都没有被证明像人们所希望的那样对普世教会有用。本文对保罗的福音提出了一种更富有普世意义的富有成效的观点，即在中心看到的不是“什么”，而是“谁”，即耶稣本人。这个提议并不新鲜，正如我们可以在亚历山大的西里尔、马丁·开姆尼茨和本笃十六世这三大基督教传统的主要神学家的著作中看到的那样，本文在考虑这种以基督为中心的方法的普世效用之前提出了这些著作。
