Studien zum Urchristentum: Kleine Schriften VI - Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament German edition

Volume 6 of Martin Hengel's "Selected Essays" contains 17 texts written over a period of 36 years, between 1971 and 2007. They focus on aspects of Lukan historiography as the basis for our knowledge of early Christianity. However, the volume also contains studies of the origins of gnosis, the mission of the early church, the early history of Christianity, and the history of Christian society, as well as crucifixion in antiquity. All the texts have been checked, and additions have been made to some of them. They represent a part of the author's scholarly work in the period mentioned. The final volume of the "Selected Essays," Volume 6, which contains historical-theological articles, biographical sketches, and detailed indices of vols. 5-7, is in progress, and its planned publication date is 2009.
