Jesus und die Evangelien
Kleine Schriften V
by Martin Hengel, edited by Claus-Jurgen Thornton
English summary: The fifth volume of Martin Hengel’s Selected Essays contains 27 studies which concern Jesus as a person, his works and the four Gospels. These studies were written over a period of 55 years. They focus on the historical Jesus and also deal with the trends in the Gospels and the circumstances surrounding their origins. The studies evolved primarily from lectures given by the author and thus reflect a part of his scholarly development, his arguments and his interests. At the same time they show that the way he deals with philology and history, the question concerning the truth of the Gospel and his opinions of contemporary issues cannot be separated from the author’s “theological existence”, and that it is this interaction which makes his exegetical and theological work so productive. German description: Der funfte Band der Kleinen Schriften von Martin Hengel enthalt 27 Studien, die die Person und das Wirken Jesu und die vier Evangelien betreffen. Entstanden sind sie in einem Zeitraum von 55 Jahren. Sie konzentrieren sich einerseits auf den historischen Jesus, fragen aber auch nach den Tendenzen der Evangelien und den Umstanden ihrer Entstehung. “[Die Beitrage] greifen aktuelle Problemstellungen auf und weisen einen interpretatorischen Weg, der […] auch nahezu funfzig Jahre spater hochst aktuell, ja auf der Hohe der zeitgenossischen Theologie ist.” www.theologie-systematisch.de/christologie/3/hengel.htm “Einige der hier abgedruckten Beitrage haben die neutestamentliche Forschung der letzten vierzig Jahre mitbestimmt und sind fester Bestandteil der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion geworden. Wegen ihrer soliden historischen, philologischen, aber auch theologischen Orientierung, die das Werk Hengels kennzeichnet, werden die Beitrage […] auch in Zukunft wertvoll bleiben.”Christoph Stenschke in European Journal of Theology 17 (2008), S. 73-75
