Knight G: Exploring the Letters of John
& Jude

Exploring the Letters of John & Jude

A Devotional Commentary

The contributors to this volume examine fear and fear of God as decisive factors in the religious and cultural worlds of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Drawing on philological, historical, and anthropological perspectives, they investigate how emotions, particularly fear, informed ritual practice, social order, and concepts of the self. Biblical texts, Rabbinic literature, and early Christian writings are read alongside Egyptian and Mesopotamian traditions, thereby situating Jewish and Christian sources in a broader intercultural framework. Epigraphic evidence, such as inscriptions from Aphrodisias, provides further depth and comparative perspective.
 

 Rather than treating fear merely as a sign of submission or religious coercion, the contributors highlight its complex role in shaping modes of communication, group identity, and cultural interaction. Their studies demonstrate how linguistic, literary, and ritual expressions of fear reflect wider processes of negotiation within communities and across traditions. This interdisciplinary approach thus exposes the conceptual networks in which fear was embedded, challenging reductionist models and opening new perspectives on ancient religious life. By bringing together leading experts from multiple disciplines, the volume advances scholarship on emotions, the sociology of religion, and the intercultural history of religions in antiquity, thereby offering essential insights for future research.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

Andreas-Christian Heidel examines the significance of religious experience for the emergence and early development of the Christian movement in Roman Corinth in the first century CE. The book's central thesis is that religious experiences - understood as the interplay of individual and communal experiences and the interpretive processes they generate - played a decisive role in the early development of the Christian community in Corinth. As a driving force that has so far received little attention in scholarship, such experiences also become visible as a distinctive feature of early Christian practice within the Greco-Roman world.
 

 Methodologically, the book combines perspectives from religious and cultural studies on religious experience with a historical-philological analysis of literary, documentary, and archaeological sources. Engaging a range of approaches, including those of Gerd Theissen, Ann Taves, and Rodney Stark, it describes religious experience as an encounter with a transcendent or encompassing power within culturally shaped contexts of interpretation and practice-an encounter that is interpreted and negotiated both individually and collectively.
 

 In this respect, the book renews a concern of the 
 Religionsgeschichtliche Schule
 , as formulated, for example, by Hermann Gunkel, without reverting to the now outdated search for dependencies and causal relationships in the history of religions. Instead, it introduces religious experience as an analytical category that allows ancient sources to be examined phenomenologically in their bodily, emotional, reflective, and behavioral dimensions, and with respect to their intensity.

Paulus und die frühchristliche Bewegung im Kontext ihrer griechisch-römischen Erfahrungswelt

Religiöse Erfahrung in Korinth

Handbuch zum Neuen Testament

Christian Blumenthal analyzes and interprets the Epistle of Jude and the Second Epistle of Peter in their cultural setting and illuminates their relationships to their Jewish and Greco-Roman contemporaries. A major focus of the interpretation is on the analysis of strategic theological ambiguities and vagueness in both letters and their pragmatic potential: The author shows how "Jude" uses the sharply drawn black-and-white contrast to open up an ecclesiological middle ground in which mercy toward theological "border crossers" is demanded. At the same time, he elaborates on how "Peter," despite literary polarization, insinuates gray areas and explores border zones. Both, "Jude" and "Peter", develop an understanding of God and Jesus that combines distinction and unity. They describe Christian existence as a tension between the current state of salvation and its yet-to-come completion defined by freedom from danger.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

Engaging the prevailing scholarly claim of inconsistency in Luke's approach to the Mosaic Law, Jason Wendel develops a comprehensive interpretation that reveals Luke's coherent view of Torah. He argues that Luke, in continuity with the Jewish writings of the late Second Temple period, conceives of the Law as both regulative command and prophetic revelation - functions that remain operative in the age of the Church. This understanding is rooted in Israel's prophetic tradition, where mercy, justice, and righteousness define genuine observance. The author demonstrates that Luke's portrayal of Jesus and his followers consistently identifies them as those who comprehend and obey the law rightly, while their adversaries - who accuse them of transgression - emerge as true violators through their deeds. Through close narrative analysis, he situates this rhetorical pattern within Luke's theological and social horizon, suggesting that adherence to the Law forms a crucial marker of early Christian identity. Jason Wendel thus opens up new perspectives on the relationship between law, prophecy, and Christian identity in Luke's double work.

Luke and the Law

A¿esja Lavrinovi¿a undertakes a detailed critical examination of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, a passage that has played a decisive role in debates on women's participation in early Christian worship. Drawing on textual criticism, redaction criticism, and linguistic analysis, she explores the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic dimensions of the verses in close dialogue with manuscript traditions, with particular attention to early Greek and Latin witnesses. This investigation is framed against centuries of exegetical engagement, from patristic interpretation to modern scholarly debate.
 

 The author's analysis demonstrates that verses 34-35 form a discrete textual unit with tenuous syntactic links to the surrounding context. Pronoun usage, verbal forms, and central terms such as ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿, and ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ exhibit striking incongruities, reinforcing the hypothesis of interpolation. Furthermore, she highlights the function of verses 33b and 36 as an editorial frame that universalizes the prohibition of women's speech in order to emphasize ecclesiastical unity. This insight supports the conclusion that the passage is not authentically Pauline but the product of later editorial activity.
 

 Challenging rhetorical approaches that assume textual coherence, the author proposes instead that textual incoherence be read as evidence for interpolation. The findings shed new light on questions of Pauline authorship, the role of women in early Christian assemblies, and the processes by which doctrinal norms were established.

A Study of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Mulier taceat

The contributors to this volume examine discourses on miracles in early Christianity and their contemporary theological reception, advancing the central thesis that miracles should not be understood merely as breaches of natural laws or as marginal narrative phenomena, but rather as complex semiotic processes that interpret and transform reality. The contributors focus on texts that range from the first century to the present, particularly New Testament writings, early Christian literature from the Eastern Mediterranean region, and current homiletic and liturgical contexts in German-speaking countries.
 

 Methodologically, the volume combines historical-critical exegesis, semiotic analysis, and practical-theological reflection. The contributors assume that miracles can only be adequately understood within their respective concepts of reality and must therefore always be analyzed in the interplay of text, intertext, and cultural context. This interdisciplinary perspective moves beyond established narrow interpretations that either reduce miracles to a specific genre or dismiss them as irrational relics of premodern worldviews. Together, the essays develop an expanded concept of the miracle that intertwines sign, reality, and interpretation - opening early Christian texts to contemporary discourse and establishing miracle research as an integral part of theological hermeneutics.
