Of no figure in early Christianity before Tertullian and Origen do we learn so many biographical details and are we given so clear a character sketch. Yet much of his activity as an apostle, which extends from around 33 to 64, i.e. more than thirty years, remains obscure. This important new book, a sequel to Martin Hengel's The Pre-Christian Paul, is about some of that period. It covers the time between Paul's conversion in Damascus and his arrival in Antioch. With an unparalleled wealth of historical material and a reconsideration of Paul's own writings, we are not only given a new picture of Paul's own activity, but also shown in more detail than ever before the background against which it took place; the church in Damascus to which he was introduced on his conversion; the methods of the first Christian mission; the situation in Arabia and King Aretas IV, the Nabataean king who confronted Paul on his first mission; the mission territory in Tarsus and Cilicia to which he then moved; the nature of the church in Antioch. And over all this hovers the question of relations between the Jerusalem church and Paul's own activities. Martin Hengel has always challenged overly sceptical assessments of the New Testament record and accused their authors of insufficient familiarity with the sources. This latest book provides powerful support for his position and is a challenging addition to the literature on Paul.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607512523025,"sku":"GOR005232018","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49646505656593,"sku":"GOR009585282","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135844118801,"sku":"NLS9780334026617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52956662497553,"sku":"GOR003105913","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/033402661X.jpg?v=1751440661"},{"product_id":"earliest-christianity-book-martin-hengel-9780334003465","title":"Earliest Christianity","description":"This volume brings together two important historical studies by Professor Hengel, Acts and the History of Earliest Christianity, and Property and Riches in the Early Church.

In the first part of this examination, Hengel explores a wide area of classical antiquity. Would it have made sense to Greeks and Romans of the first century to say that Jesus had died for them? Were there points of contact in their traditions? Surveying Greek and Latin literature, Hengel shows just how widespread the theme dying for actually was, from Homer, through the Greek tragedians and orators, to Plutarch, Livy, and Caesar. The second part of the book is devoted to tracing the doctrine of atonement, moving back from the letters of Paul, through the pre-Pauline tradition, to Jesus.

He is the author of many books including 'Victory Over Violence \u0026amp; Was Jesus a Revolutionist?', 'Between Jesus and Paul', 'Judaism and Hellenism', 'Studies in the Gospel of Mark', and 'The Hellenization of Judaea in the First Century' after Christ.

Hengel examines the titles Son and God. He points toward an inner consistency and dynamic in the development of the doctrine of Christ in primitive Christianity as the movement proceeded from the Gospels' account of the death of Jesus to the high Christology present in the Pauline writings. Historical scholarship and theological -- one might even say dogmatic -- questions must not stand in unresolved contradiction. On the contrary, the historian misunderstands the nature of New Testament Christology if he does not grasp its theological concern and its inner consistency, while a dogmatic approach that does not take seriously the historical course of Christianity is in danger of becoming no more than abstract speculation. It is therefore vitally important to unite historical research and the theological search for truth. All students of New Testament Christology will benefit from this book. --Interpretation Martin Hengel is Emeritus Professor of New Testament and Early Judaism at the University of Tuebingen, Germany.

Professor Hengel examines the external historical evidence for the creation of the Gospels by those documenting the early church, like Papias and Ireneus. He also analyzes the origin of the uniform title Gospel according to and the process of dissemination of the gospel. He concludes that whether for the evangelists or for Paul, the gospel is both narrative and proclamation. Despite the problems caused by the different forms in which the gospel has come down to us, this very multiplicity remains a source of strength for the church.

Hengel examines the titles Son and God. He points toward an inner consistency and dynamic in the development of the doctrine of Christ in primitive Christianity as the movement proceeded from the Gospels' account of the death of Jesus to the high Christology present in the Pauline writings. Historical scholarship and theological -- one might even say dogmatic -- questions must not stand in unresolved contradiction. On the contrary, the historian misunderstands the nature of New Testament Christology if he does not grasp its theological concern and its inner consistency, while a dogmatic approach that does not take seriously the historical course of Christianity is in danger of becoming no more than abstract speculation. It is therefore vitally important to unite historical research and the theological search for truth. All students of New Testament Christology will benefit from this book. --Interpretation Martin Hengel is Emeritus Professor of New Testament and Early Judaism at the University of Tuebingen, Germany.

He argues that the tradition contained in the Gospel is that handed down by Peter through Mark, and that the Gospel was written in Rome in AD 69. The famous note by Papias quoted in Eusebius' Church History is not to be dismissed, but has every appearance of being reliable. Further evidence in support of this view can be found in a detailed consideration of the titles of the Gospels, which must have been attached to the Gospels at a very early stage, if only to identify them. An appendix, by the distinguished classical philologist Wolfgang Schadewaldt, on 'The Reliability of the Synoptic Tradition', is used to add further weight to the case. With his customary learning, Professor Hengel has produced a powerful argument which those who have held more radical views than his own will have to consider very carefully indeed if they are to continue to carry conviction.

At the heart of this argument lies the question of Jesus: how does the fate of a first-century Galilean Jew inspire and determine the nature, shape, and practices of a distinct religious movement? Vital to this first question is another equally challenging one: can the four Gospels be used to reconstruct the historical Jesus? In Jesus and Judaism, Martin Hengel and Anna Maria Schwemer seek to untangle the complex relationships among Jesus, Judaism, and the Gospels in the earliest Christian movement.  Jesus and Judaism, the first in a four-volume series, focuses on the person of Jesus in the context of Judaism. Beginning with his Galilean origin, the volume analyzes Jesus' relationship with John the Baptist and the Jewish context of Jesus' life and work. Hengel and Schwemer argue that there never was a nonmessianic Jesus. Rather, his messianic claim finds expression in his relationship to the Baptist, his preaching in authority, his deeds of power, and his crucifixion as king of the Jews, and in the emergence of the earliest Christology. As Hengel and Schwemer reveal, Jesus was not only a devout Jew, nor merely a miracle worker, but the essential part of the earliest form of Christianity.  Hengel and Schwemer insist that Jesus belongs within the history of early Christianity, rather than as its presupposition. Christianity did not begin after Jesus' death; Christianity began as soon as a Jew from Galilee started to preach the word of God.

Against such views which might seem to devalue the doctrine of the atonement, Professor Hengel argues forcefully and with great scholarship that the doctrine of the atonement can be traced back to the earliest church, indeed to the sayings of Jesus himself. The second part of the book is devoted to this quest, moving back from the letters of Paul, through the pre-Pauline tradition, to Jesus. It is fascinating in itself. However, what gives the book even greater appeal is its first part, in which Professor Hengel examines a wider area of classical antiquity. Would it have made sense to Greeks and Romans of the first-century to say that Jesus had died for them? Were there points of contact in their traditions? Surveying Greek and Latin literature, Professor Hengel shows just how widespread a theme 'dying for' actually was, from Homer, through the Greek tragedians and orators, to Plutarch, Livy and Caesar. Once again, he sheds new light on areas which might be thought to have been long since worked to death.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983624048913,"sku":"NIN9780334000426","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51282624381201,"sku":"GOR003576530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52675508535569,"sku":"NLS9780334000426","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0341346861.jpg?v=1751102939"},{"product_id":"saint-peter-book-martin-hengel-9780802827180","title":"Saint Peter","description":"You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my community. \u003cbr\u003e -- Matthew 16:18, author's translation \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Given that Peter fades from view halfway through the book of Acts and that he left no gospel account in his name, it is tempting for many biblical scholars to dismiss him as a vague figure in Christian history and downplay his influence in the early church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Martin Hengel rejects this underestimation of the apostle and argues that Peter was in fact the Rock, central to the development of both the Jewish and the Gentile Christian communities.

At the heart of this argument lies the question of Jesus: how does the fate of a first-century Galilean Jew inspire and determine the nature, shape, and practices of a distinct religious movement? Vital to this first question is another equally challenging one: can the four Gospels be used to reconstruct the historical Jesus? In this work, Martin Hengel and Anna Maria Schwemer seek to untangle the complex relationships among Jesus, Judaism, and the Gospels in the earliest Christian movement.  Jesus and Judaism, the first in a four-volume series, focuses on the person of Jesus in the context of Judaism. Beginning with his Galilean origin, the volume analyzes Jesus' relationship with John the Baptist and the Jewish context of Jesus' life and work. The authors argue that there never was a nonmessianic Jesus. Rather, his messianic claim finds expression in his relationship to the Baptist, his preaching in authority, his deeds of power, and his crucifixion as king of the Jews, and in the emergence of the earliest Christology. As Martin Hengel and Anna Maria Schwemer reveal, Jesus was not only a devout Jew, nor merely a miracle worker, but the essential part of the earliest form of Christianity. The authors insist that Jesus belongs within the history of early Christianity, rather than as its presupposition. Christianity did not begin after Jesus' death; Christianity began as soon as a Jew from Galilee started to preach the word of God.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148578615569,"sku":"NLS9783161589201","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783161589201.jpg?v=1757603990"},{"product_id":"jews-greeks-and-barbarians-book-martin-hengel-9780334020967","title":"Jews, Greeks and Barbarians","description":"The time between the conquests of Alexander the Great and the Maccabaean wars is one of the obscurest periods of Jewish history.

Der Traktat Besa ist der 8. Traktat der zweiten Ordnung, Moced (Feste), und behandelt die den Feiertag (Yom Tov) betreffenden Gebote. Als Feiertag, der dem Ruhegebot und dem Gebot zur Festtagsfreude unterliegt, gelten nach rabbinischer Überlieferung sechs Tage: Der erste und siebte Tag des Pesah-Festes, der erste und achte Tag des Laubhüttenfestes ('Sukkot'), der Tag des Wochenfestes ('Shavu'ot') und der erste Tag des Monats Tishri, das Neujahrsfest ('Rosh ha-Shana'). Auf diese Tage trifft das in Lev 23,7.21.30.36 überlieferte Ruhegebot zu. Dieses Gebot wird nur durch den für das Verständnis des Traktates grundlegenden Vers Ex 12,16 (\"Und am ersten Tag sei eine heilige Versammlung, und am siebten Tag sei eine heilige Versammlung für euch; keine Arbeit sollt ihr an ihnen verrichten; nur was jedes Lebewesen zur Nahrung benötigt, dies allein dürft ihr euch zubereiten.\") eingeschränkt. Dieser Vers bezieht sich eigentlich nur auf das Pesah-Fest, wurde aber von den Rabbinen auch auf die anderen Feiertage übertragen. Neben halakhischen Erörterungen über Speisen enthält der Traktat auch einige kurze haggadische Passagen, die für Historiker von Interesse sind. Die Übersetzung folgt der nach wie vor verbreitetsten Edition Krotoszyn 1865\/66. Andreas Lehnardt berücksichtigt auch die in der  Synopse zum Talmud Yerushalmi edierten Handschriften und Drucke sowie einige indirekte Textzeugen. Der Kommentar erläutert unter Berücksichtigung traditioneller Kommentare wie dem des berühmten Kabbalisten El'azar ben Moses Azikri (1533 - ca. 1600) alle wichtigen Probleme der Übersetzung. Erörtert werden auch in der modernen Sekundärliteratur behandelte Probleme der Interpretation. Beigegeben sind eine Bibliographie und Erläuterungen zur Methodik.
