Described as an "invaluable reference work" (Classical Philology) and "a tool indispensable for the study of early Christian literature" (Religious Studies Review) in its previous edition, this new updated American edition of Walter Bauer's Wörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments builds on its predecessor's staggering deposit of extraordinary erudition relating to Greek literature from all periods. Including entries for many more words, the new edition also lists more than 25,000 additional references to classical, intertestamental, Early Christian, and modern literature. In this edition, Frederick W. Danker's broad knowledge of Greco-Roman literature, as well as papyri and epigraphs, provides a more panoramic view of the world of Jesus and the New Testament. Danker has also introduced a more consistent mode of reference citation, and has provided a composite list of abbreviations to facilitate easy access to this wealth of information. Perhaps the single most important lexical innovation of Danker's edition is its inclusion of extended definitions for Greek terms. For instance, a key meaning of "episkopos" was defined in the second American edition as overseer; Danker defines it as "one who has the responsibility of safeguarding or seeing to it that something is done in the correct way, guardian." Such extended definitions give a fuller sense of the word in question, which will help avoid both anachronisms and confusion among users of the lexicon who may not be native speakers of English. Danker's edition of Bauer's Wörterbuch will be an indispensable guide for Biblical and classical scholars, ministers, seminarians, and translators.

This brilliant &amp; pioneering monograph inaugurated a new era of scholarship in the study of the New Testament &amp; Christian origins, especially in America. It argued that early Christianity did not begin with a unified orthodox belief, from which heresies broke off at a later time. Rather, Bauer demonstrated that diversity stood at the beginning, while an orthodox church emerged only after long controversies during the early centuries. During recent decades, the investigation of newly discovered texts, such as the Gnostic Library of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, have fully confirmed Bauer's insights. There may be numerous details, which scholars today would see differently than Walter Bauer, whose word was 1st published in Germany 60 years ago. Nevertheless, Bauer's book has remained the foundation for all modern scholarship in this field, &amp; it's must-reading for all who want to explore early Christian Communities. It's still challenging, fresh, fascinating &amp; thought-provoking--without any question one of the truly great masterpieces of New Testament scholarship.--Helmut Koester, New Testament Studies &amp; Ancient Church History, Harvard Divinity School.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament (German Edition)

de Gruyter

Das "Griechisch-deutsche Wörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments und der frühchristlichen Literatur" gehört zu den Standardwerken der Neutestamentler, Patristiker und klassischen Philologen. Die 6. Auflage ist in allen Bereichen neu bearbeitet: in der neutestamentlichen Textgrundlage (auch, was ihre Vollständigkeit und die Angabe von Varianten angeht) wie in bezug auf die Apostolischen Väter wie die neutestamentlichen Apokryphen (diese sind zum ersten Mal so vollständig wie möglich eingearbeitet). Auch die Apologeten und die Kirchenväter der Frühzeit werden sehr viel häufiger als bisher zitiert. Zahlreiche Autoren aus dem christlichen, dem intertestamentarischen und dem klassischen Bereich sind zum ersten Mal herangezogen worden. Über 250 neue Artikel sind aufgenommen worden. Die neue Typographie läßt den Benutzer rascher finden, was er sucht, und macht den Aufbau der Artikel durchsichtiger. Durch sie wurde es möglich, etwa ein Drittel neues Material aufzunehmen, ohne daß die Seitenzahl des Wörterbuchs anwuchs.
