'... there is a striking difference between Kasemann and most of his theologian compatriots. He is a radical to his fingertips. Nothing is sacrosanctâ€"apart from his beloved Paul. He can always be relied on to produce something desperately honest, deeply searching, highly uncomfortable, and absolutely brilliant. It is not surprising that his lectutes have drawn such crowds over the years ... Kasemann provides us with a gale of bracing air which will toughen robust Christian spirits but cause the anaemic to catch pneumonia and die.' Church of England Newspaper . when he is really on the track of the truth about the Gospel and Christ, he writes moving and stimulating pages... The vigour of these utterances is well conveyed in the English translation by Canon W. J. Montague.'

From the Foreword by Paul N. Anderson: "Among the most provocative New Testament scholars of the tweitieth century, Ernst Kasemann tops the list, and his most striking work is The Testament of Jesus. This brief book is significant not because the bulk of Johannine scholars have fully agreed with it; indeed, most have taken exception to many of its points. The impact of Kasemann's 1966 Shaffer Lectures, delivered at Yale Divinity School and rendered in book form in German and English over the next couple of years, lay in his capacity to communicate worthy insights in sharp and provocative ways, blocking some paths of discussion while opening others. . .. The Testament of Jesus cannot simply be read. It can only be engaged--refuted and embraced--and dialectically so."

The testament of Jesus: A study of the Gospel of John in the light of chapter 17

Excerpt from the dust jacket: "Kasemann treats major themes in Paul's thought with his customary originality, clarity, and brilliance. The book's starting point is Paul's anthropology. Kasemann maintains that Paul stresses both man's individuality and his place within the cosmos. For Paul, justification must also be seen in cosmic and eschatological terms. Individual essays in this book focus on Paul's theology of the cross, on the motif of the body of Christ, on Christian worship, and on the terms spirit and letter.... This collection of essays is essential reading for anyone studying Paul or New Testament theology."

Fortress Press,U.S.

A leader of German biblical scholarship and one of the foremost New Testament scholars of the twentieth century, Ernst Käsemann devoted a lifetime to the study of Romans. Considered the capstone of Käsemann's pioneering work in Pauline theology, Commentary on Romans in its first two German editions sold out within the first year of publication. / Translated here into English from the fourth German edition by Geoffrey W. Bromiley, Käsemann's individualistic, frequently provocative exposition emphasizes theological rather than historical questions. Though thoroughly conversant with the current historical and theological literature — as demonstrated parenthetically throughout the text and in the extensive bibliographies preceding each section of the text — Käsemann divides his commentary into sections according to what he sees as the key theological concepts of the letter — the righteousness of God and justification by faith.
