Abstract

This article intends to give an outline of the research into the thorny question of the relationship between Paul and the Law. The first part contains three "status quaestionis", composed by three important exegetes but reaching only as far as 2004. A second step looks at how research has developed since then until the present day with an examination of the most important contributions. The conclusion gives some critical observations by the author on studies of Paul and the Law and on the subject itself.
