Abstract
Commentaries on Paul's Epistle to Romans have always played an important role in the history of biblical interpretation. While most of the scholars were traditionally focused on the first three, resp. four chapters of the letter, authors of the so-called (radical) new perspective on Paul nowadays accentuate especially the importance of the chapters 9-11.
These authors also often use Luther's interpretation of Paul's theology as a dark background of their own understanding. This contribution therefore deals with Luther's interpretation of Romans 9 in the context of current Pauline scholarship and tries to find both similarities and differences.
