Ernst Käsemann

Ernst Käsemann was a German theologian known for his work on the New Testament, particularly the letters of Paul. He emphasized the importance of the resurrection of Jesus as the central event of Christianity, arguing that it reveals God's definitive act of salvation. Käsemann believed that the message of Jesus must be understood through the lens of this resurrection, which challenges existing social and religious structures. His ideas have been influential in modern Christian theology, encouraging scholars to see the resurrection not just as a historical event but as the foundation for faith and ethical living today.
