Die Composition der paulinischen Hauptbriefe (1890 Völter), book
Die Composition der paulinischen Hauptbriefe. Der Römer- und Galaterbrief <German> (1890) is an book by Daniel Völter.
Abstract
Völter attempts to distinguish between original and interpolated elements in Paul's letters to the Romans and Galatians. Those elements which are simple and plain (i.e., the central role of Christ's atoning death; justification through forgiveness of sins) are genuine, while those which are complicated and speculative (i.e., a highly developed Christology; speculations on the Spirit; eschatology; predestinarian views; advanced antinomianism) are interpolations. For Völter, Galatians is spurious throughout and Romans is heavily interpolated. Knowledge of the Wisdom of Solomon, Philo, Seneca, and Graeco-Roman philosophy is ascribed to the interpolators.
