This volume collects previously published and yet unpublished articles by the New Testament and rabbinic Judaism scholar Friedrich Avemarie. Founded on a great familiarity with rabbinic literature and a distinct theological interest in the New Testament, the articles provide much important stimulus for the issues involved.


English summary: This volume contains significant published and unpublished essays written by the Judaism and New Testament scholar Friedrich Avemarie, who died unexpectedly in October 2012. Set against the background of an excellent knowledge of the rabbinic literature and with a decidedly theological interest in the New Testament, the contributions provide critical impulses for New Testament and Judaistic discourse. Key topics are the rabbinic theology of martyrdom, rabbinic and New Testament soteriology and anthropology, the parables of Jesus, the historical background of the Book of Acts, Paul’s doctrine of justification in relation to the so-called New Perspective on Paul, the Israel question in the theology of Saint Paul, and questions about the history of salvation and the free will in Paul’s gospel. Five of the essays are published here for the first time. German description: Der Band versammelt wichtige veroffentlichte und bisher unveroffentlichte Aufsatze des im Oktober 2012 unerwartet verstorbenen Neutestamentlers und Judaisten Friedrich Avemarie. Vor dem Hintergrund exzellenter Kenntnis der rabbinischen Literatur und in dezidiert theologischem Interesse am Neuen Testament geben die Beitrage der neutestamentlichen und judaistischen Diskussion wichtige Impulse. Themenschwerpunkte sind die rabbinische Martyriumstheologie, rabbinische und neutestamentliche Soteriologie und Anthropologie, Jesu Gleichnisse, der historische Hintergrund der Apostelgeschichte, die paulinische Rechtfertigungslehre in Auseinandersetzung mit der sogenannten New Perspective on Paul, die Israelfrage in der paulinischen Theologie, und die Fragen nach Heilsgeschichte und freiem Willen bei Paulus. Funf Aufsatze werden hier erstmals publiziert.

"The editors, and his colleagues and family members who aided them, are to be warmly thanked for bringing together so much that otherwise might have got lost in indices and contents lists. They have offered a fitting tribute to a significant scholar and a signal of how much more might have been expected had he been granted more time." --Judith M. Lieu, Review of Biblical Literature
