»Nicht männlich und weiblich«.

- Abstract
The article "Not male and female" discusses the abolition of hierarchical constructions in Galatians 3:28. The biblical text emphasizes that belonging to Christ overcomes all social distinctions and abolishes customary power and role distributions. It is pointed out that the vision of a united and reconciled world can be thought of in a society characterized by polarities without uniformity, but in appreciative recognition of diversity and plurality. The article examines the ambivalent attitude of Paul and his followers regarding gender difference and discusses the implications for contemporary church practice. It emphasizes that a return to the egalitarian approaches of early Christians is necessary to understand the message of Christianity again in its original power.
