Images of God in Romans (English)
Abstract [en]

In this study different ideas of God in the Romans (1-4, 11:33-36) will be discussed, as well has how they can be understood in relation to salvation and the terms of theology of religions. This is to dig deep into the Roman in its historical context and develop a short description of Paul. Thereafter the text and the linguistic issues will be studied. The word ἔθνος can be understood as Greek Gentiles or peoples. Paul writes in a similar manner that includes everyone, or every human. He sometimes writes in such a way where Jews as well as ἔθνος are included in his argument. Although, it is not clear whom, if any, are excluded. As a result many different images of God are found in the Romans. Depending on which image of God is highlighted in combination with which passage is being emphasized, all five terms of theology of religion is plausible. The previous outcome, in combination with Paul’s diplomatic tone that wishes for unity, can enrich one’s meeting with the other.
