JK: That stems from the Germanic theological tradition of justification.

DSR: Yes. The culture from which it stems has changed, but the formula was passed on unchanged until it not only no longer communicated anything that people could understand but now stands in the way of their understanding. That’s unfortunately what happened with this doctrine of justification.

JK: But during Lent, for example, we still sing, “All Sünd’ hast du getragen, / sonst müssten wir verzagen.”7

DSR: That is precisely what I mean by the passing on of formulas that no longer fit. It is not that the line is wrong; it comes from an interpretation that no longer helps us today, but rather makes us anxious by the associations it evokes. We do have to open ourselves up to the sentence “See, I am making all things new.” That will help us also with interpreting Jesus’ death and resurrection.
