In Sinu Patris: Die barmherzige Trinität in Luthers Gebrauch von Joh 1, 18 [Elektronische Daten] [Risto Saarinen] This article studies Martin Luther's understanding of John 1 : 18 with a special regard to the Trinitarian saying that the Son is "in the bosom of the Father”. This saying is exposed in detail in Luther's first lectures on the Psalms and again in 1538. In addition to these two expositions, Luther presents many shorter remarks on the Trinitarian meaning of John 1 : 18. The study shows that Luther's view of merciful God becomes connected with a Trinitarian argument, claiming that you cannot believe in God's mercy unless you interpret John 1 : 18 in a Trinitarian manner. In addition, the unique position of the Son "in the bosom” enables the communication of the Father's deepest thoughts to human beings through the mediating and revelatory role of the Son. Therefore the relationship of the Son to the Father is also significant when our knowledge of God as both lawgiver and merciful Father is being discussed. © Walter de Gruyter Religion: general nationallicence Christianity nationallicence Neue Zeitschrift fur Systematische Theologie und Religionsphilosophie Walter de Gruyter 46/4(2004-11-25), 431-447 0028-3517 46:4<431 2004 46 nzst https://doi.org/10.1515/nzst.2004.46.4.431 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/nzst.2004.46.4.431 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Saarinen Risto 1.
