Union with Christ – this is the sum and substance of the Christian’s status, the definition of his relationship to Jesus, the large reality in which all the nuances of his new being are embraced.

James S. Stewart

James S. Stewart war ein schottischer presbyterianischer Pfarrer und Professor für Neues Testament an der Universität Edinburgh im 20. Jahrhundert. Er stand für eine streng christuszentrierte Predigtweise und betonte in seinen Schriften zur paulinischen Theologie vor allem die persönliche Glaubensverbundenheit mit Christus. Heutigen Bibellesern zeigt sein Werk eine Auslegungstradition, die wissenschaftliche Exegese mit seelsorgerlicher Praxis verbindet.
