Short description:
"Ganz gleich, ob er die Rolle der Exegese des Neuen Testaments in anderen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen untersucht, die Unterdrückung der Wut in den paulinischen Schriften oder wann εὐαγγέλιον als geschriebenes ""Evangelium"" bestimmt wurde, die geduldige und vorsichtige Exegese James A. Kelhoffers bietet vielfältige Einblicke in das frühe Christentum. This volume makes available sixteen revised and updated articles by James A. Kelhoffer, originally published between 1998 and 2013, that offer refreshing insights on method, ""gospel"" and legitimacy, insights that are suggested but not developed in the author's other books."

"Ganz gleich, ob er die Rolle der Exegese des Neuen Testaments in anderen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen untersucht, die Unterdrückung der Wut in den paulinischen Schriften oder wann εὐαγγέλιον als geschriebenes ""Evangelium"" verstanden wurde, die geduldige und vorsichtige Exegese James A. Kelhoffers bietet spannende Einblicke in das frühe Christentum. Er zeigt, dass viele Anstrengungen der frühchristlichen Gläubigen den innerkirchlichen Kampf widerspiegeln, der die Legitimität eines Standpunktes oder eines religiösen Führers gegenüber konkurrierenden Ideologien oder Anführern begründet. Die Leser, denen Kelhoffers bereits erschienene Bände Miracle and Mission (2000), The Diet of John the Baptist (2005) and Persecution, Persuasion and Power (2010) bekannt sind, werden in diesem Band neue Einblicke erlangen, auf die in seinen bisherigen Werken hingewiesen, die aber noch nicht ausgearbeitet wurden. The struggles to define what ""gospel"" was and to bolster a leader's or a group's legitimacy amidst inter-ecclesial competitors are hallmarks of much early Christian literature. Commencing with James A. Kelhoffer's inaugural lecture at Uppsala University, this volume makes available sixteen revised and updated articles, originally published between 1998 and 2013, focusing on method, ""gospel"" and legitimacy. In regard to method, it is argued that the so-called ""historical-critical method"" should not be construed as just one method in contrast to (or, as an alternative to) newer methods and approaches to biblical studies. Kelhoffer's investigations of ""gospel"" in early Christian literature include when εὐαγγέλιον came to designate a written ""Gospel,"" whether Basilides of Alexandria wrote a Gospel, Paul's concept of Heilsgeschichte, and patristic debates about the original conclusion to Mark. Examinations of struggles for legitimacy survey a range of topics and literature - the prayers attributed to the Maccabees, miracles as a confirmation of Paul's legitimacy as an apostle, Luke's apologetic portrayal of Paul as a former persecutor of the church, a readiness to withstand persecution as a source of authentication according to Paul and the Revelation of John, Hippolytus of Rome's attacks against miracle-working 'heretics,' and the allegedly higher status of maimed ""confessors"" at the Council of Nicaea. Those already familiar with Kelhoffer's Miracle and Mission (2000), Diet of John the Baptist (2005) and Persecution, Persuasion and Power (2010) will find in this volume refreshing insights suggested but not developed in his other books."
