The Relationship between the Apostles Luke and Paul and the Lukan Paul in Acts. Reinterpreting Romans 13:1-7 in light of Acts 16-26

Exegesis from the year 2017 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: B (3.3), Emory University (Candler School of Theology), course: Master of Theological Studies, language: English, abstract: This exegetical paper engages with Romans 13:1-7, one of the most problematic and debated passages in the Pauline corpus, which has been quoted by many politicians and religious leaders in different ways to solve the tensions arising frequently between church and state. Accordingly, this paper seeks to reinterpret Romans 13:1-7 based on Paul’s character and behavior mentioned in Acts 16-26. The first part of the paper deals with exegetical issues, namely the world behind the text, the world in the text, and the world in front of the text. Following this, the paper articulates the relationship between Luke and Paul and the Lukan Paul in Acts. After this, the remainder of the paper will focus on interpretation and reflection. Ultimately, this paper argues that Paul, if based on Luke’s depiction in Acts 16-26, may well not have meant blind obedience—when he speaks of submitting to the governing authorities—but reflective obedience.

Afterwards, some implications and problems of TTIP are presented. Finally, the paper concludes the most important points of this agreement and involves future prospectives for the TTIP between the European Union and the United States. By reading this paper, the reader has the opportunity to form their own opinion on the TTIP based on the comprehensive assets and drawbacks which are submitted. This paper introduces the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, called TTIP. TTIP is a trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, which is currently being negotiated. The aim of this convention is to open up the markets on both sides. This includes eliminating tariffs and other trade barriers between the two unions, the United States and the European Union. Furthermore, restrictions for commercial services shall also be reduced, security of investment and the competitive equality shall be improved, and not least the access to public contracts shall be simplified at all levels of government. Therefore, the TTIP is a unique joint project which can obtain considerable growth and em-ployment effects (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Umwelt 2015). However, there is a lot of criticism and concerns regarding foreign trade between the European Union and the United States, but there are a lot of advantages for both countries as well. Some of the topics are highly controversial mainly due to differing standards and norms of both partners (Beck & Ohr 2014).
