As the inaugural volume in the Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, Jens Schroter’s Von Jesus zum Neuen Testament is now available for the first time in English. Schroter provides a rich narrative to Christian history by looking back upon the theological forces that created the New Testament canon. Through his textual, historical, and hermeneutical examination of early Christianity, Schroter reveals that various writings that form the New Testament’s building blocks are all held together. Jesus not only binds the New Testament, but launched a theological project that resulted in the canon. Schroter’s study will undoubtedly spark new discussion about the formation of the canon. Published in North America by Baylor University Press, Waco.
