Originally published in 1950 as the first title in the series Studies in Biblical Theology, Baptism in the New Testament was welcomed as, and has continued ever since to be an invaluable contribution to the debate set afoot by Barth in his booklet, The Teaching of the Church Concerning Baptism. `Here the reader can study the fresh, stimulating and constructive researches of one of the great Biblical scholars of Europe into the burning question of the origins of baptism. Dr Cullmann is an ardent protagonist of infant baptism, which is the subject of intense debate at the moment. He rightly deplores Barth's attempts to discredit the practice. On the basis of the kinship between circumcision and baptism on the one hand, and between the proselyte bath of the Jews and baptism on the other, he makes a forceful plea for the spiritual reality and legitimacy of baptizing infants. This is an essay which is packed with profound scriptural analysis; its relevance to current discussion in the Church of England is obvious' (Church Times). 'Of the merits of this essay there is little need to speak. The author is a well-known expert in matters relating to the origins of Christianity, and he has also a fine apprehension of the theological issues involved. He treats his subject under the four heads : the foundation of baptism in the work of Christ; baptism as acceptance into the body of Christ; baptism and faith; and baptism and circumcision ... Not everyone will agree entirely with the author's account of what takes place in baptism, but there can be no doubt that he is right in his general stress upon the objective character of this sacrament. We are indebted to him also for useful discussions of various texts and passages of the New Testament. It will be a surprise to some that there is even less New Testament evidence for the adult baptism of the children of believing Christians than there is for their baptism as infants. The linking of baptism with circumcision is very ably done, and in an appendix on an early baptismal formula the genuineness of Acts 8.37 is defended and the relevance of Christ's blessing of the children displayed' (The Life of Faith).

Cullman's study is distinguished by its responsible exegesis and its attention to the philosophical issues so often overlooked in general books on prayer." -Sharyn Dowd, Lexington Theological Seminary  Oscar Cullman offers here the first complete treatment of the New Testament doctrine and practice of prayer, a subject he refers to as "the greatest gift of grace and a difficult task to be learned." He comments on the difficulties of praying, objections to prayer, prayer and human weakness, prayer in the Synoptic Gospels, in Paul, in John, and in the rest of the New Testament.  Oscar Cull mann , Professor Emeritus of the Universities of Basel and Paris, is one of the most distinguished New Testament scholars of the twentieth century.

New insights into the development and the origin of the Gospel of John are Oscar Cullmann's chief concern in this significant book. The author's primary thesis is that there is within Judaism a "Johannine Circle" that stands behind the Gospel and continues its theological concern. In this volume, not only does he establish the origin of that Circle within Judaism but he also defines its position within primitive Christianity, and investigates its beginnings, character, and setting. Continuing his own earlier works on the relationship of the Gospel of John and the group surrounding Stephen, the Samaritans, and heterodox Judaism (which have unexpectedly been confirmed by recent Samaritan studies), he has employed these conclusions toward a solution of the remaining Johannine problems. Dr. Cullmann's investigation brings new light to the subject, and his original new conclusions differ both from the tradition of the church and from the views put forward by the majority of scholars. As Dr. Cullmann himself admits, "my work is independent of both points of view." THE JOHANNINE CIRCLE will help serious students of the New Testament solve various problems posed by any New Testament interpreter. In addition, Dr. Cullmann's arguments concerning the purpose of the Gospel of John will be an inestimable aid in interpreting its true meaning. OSCAR CULLMANN has been Professor of the New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Basel and at the Ecole des Hautes-Etudes, Sorbonne, Paris, and, since 1972, full member of the Institut de France. He is the author of many books, including Christ and Time: The Primitive Christian Conception of Time and History; The New Testament: An Introduction for the General Reader; and The Christology of the New Testament.
