Fortress Press

This monumental work by two Continental New Testament scholars is the first comprehensive social history of the earliest churches. Integrating the historical and social data, it locates the ancient Judeans and the Jesus Movement in their respective matrices. The Stegemanns deal with such issues as: conflict between the messianic communities and the rest of Judaism, religious pluralism, social stratification, group composition, gender division, ancient economics, and urban/rural distinctions. This volume offers both an introduction to these social issues, as well as fresh insights and analysis, and includes: integration of social history, social-scientific analyses, and theological analyses; focus on the role of women in the Jesus Movement and early churches; and maps charts and diagrams.

Das biblische Bild der Jesus-Zeit bieten die vier Evangelien des Neuen Testaments: Matthaus, Markus, Lukas und Johannes. Allerdings handelt es sich bei ihnen um narrative Texte, nicht um historische Monographien. Dies bedeutet komplexe Analysen fur die Rekonstruktion des historischen Bildes der Epoche, insbesondere fur das Bild vom historischen Jesus selbst, wie die Geschichte der Forschung seit dem 18. Jh. bis in die Gegenwart hinein zeigt. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die modernste internationale historische Jesusforschung, die sog. "third quest" und ihre Ergebnisse. Das bedeutet auch, dass die jungsten Untersuchungen zum antiken Judentum berucksichtigt werden, da sie fur die Interpretation der Position Jesu und der Jesusbewegung innerhalb des Judentums zu vollig neuen Einschatzungen gefuhrt haben. Behandelt wird ferner die Problematisierung der kulturellen Pragung der historischen Jesusfrage als Kind der Aufklarung und damit der westlichen Kultur.

Jesus Und Seine Zeit (Biblische Enzyklopadie) (German Edition)

Kohlhammer Verlag

After 30 years a new intensive study on the life, work and theology of the apostle Paul. International research on Paul has led to significant changes in the view on Paul. This includes his theological profile (especially the New Perspective on Paul) but also the social und cultural context in which Paul worked as a missionary and founded communities. Of central importance for all aspects of the new idea of Paul is the comprehension, that traditional anti Jewish interpretations are not plausible any more.They are replaced by Paul, as a missionary of peoples on the basis of his Jewish identity and within a Jewish environment of his time.This book provides a synopsis of the new international perspective on Paul, scrutinizing the new finings as well as the traditional interpretations.
