Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

John 7,53-8,11, known as the 
 Pericope Adulterae
 (PA), is well known for its problematic textual history, which includes questions about its authenticity and its place within the Gospel of John. While previous studies on PA have largely limited themselves to the examination of the textual status of PA or to the interpretation of a few verses from PA, Rayan J. Lobo demonstrates that the entire 
 Pericope Adulterae
 can be read within its current literary context and understood in a meaningful way as part of the Gospel of John. He employs both synchronic and diachronic methods, focusing on the origin, form, and interpretation of PA, as well as its role in Jn 7-8. In doing so, the author systematically demonstrates that the roots of PA lie in the oral tradition, that it follows the literary form of wisdom tales, and that it must be interpreted as a Jewish trial of Jesus.

Studien und Texte zu Antike und Christentum / Studies and Texts in Antiquity and Christianity

Philippa Townsend argues that early Christian ideas about sacrifice were developed within the context of a widespread discursive association between ethnicity, race and sacrifice in ancient Mediterranean texts. She demonstrates that sacrifice was understood to be deeply effective in boundary-making between ethnic groups and in the creation, sustenance, and sometimes destruction, of lineages and peoples. The author focuses on a series of case studies from the second century BCE to the fourth century CE, across Jewish, Christian, Middle Platonist, and Neoplatonist traditions, including the book of
 Jubilees
 , the New Testament Letter to the Hebrews, the 
 Gospel of Judas
 , and the works of Justin Martyr, Celsus, Origen, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and the Emperor Julian. The study demonstrates how these authors deployed sacrificial and ethnic rhetoric in distinctive ways depending on their own social, political and theological contexts, in order to articulate various conceptions of peoplehood within a changing imperial context. This nexus between ethnic and sacrificial reasoning was fundamental to the development of early Christians' identity, their sacrificial theologies, their development of anti-Jewish supersessionism, and their responses to empire. Far from rejecting or spiritualizing sacrifice or ethnic self-definition, many early Christians viewed sacrifice as a powerful mode of establishing and perpetuating their own sense of peoplehood within the ethnic landscape of the Roman Empire. Furthermore, the rhetoric of universalism and particularism, spirit and flesh, blood and seed, barbarism and civilization that animated these ancient sacrificial and ethnic debates has contributed decisively to modern conceptions of race and religion.

Ethnicity and Sacrifice in the Early Christian World

Handbuch zum Neuen Testament

Following the earlier volume by Martin Dibelius and Hans Conzelmann, this commentary offers an entirely new interpretation of First and Second Timothy and Titus. Contemporary scholarship continues to debate the authenticity and connection of the two letters to Timothy and the letter to Titus. Stefan Krauter critically engages with these current discussions and carefully weighs the respective positions. On the basis of the available evidence - both within the texts themselves and in external sources - a definitive judgment is not possible; an assessment, however, can be ventured: the three letters are read as a deliberately composed pseudepigraphical letter collection that, in the second century, supplemented the ten other Pauline letters already in circulation as a corpus. The unknown author concisely summarizes the central ideas of the earlier Pauline letters. He develops their themes in linguistically innovative ways appropriate to his own time and brings them into dialogue with motifs drawn from the Gospel tradition. In this way, he tries to influence the subsequent reception of Paul. His writings are not a forgery in the sense of fabricating a Pauline intervention in specific second-century controversies. Rather, they give rise to a constructed image of the apostle as the founder of the Christian community who shapes its future by instructing his co-workers. Stefan Krauter situates the letters within the literature and culture of imperial antiquity, with particular emphasis on their philological, cultural and religio-historical interpretation.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

In his collected essays on international biblical intertextuality research, Stefan Alkier demonstrates what distinguishes the concept of intertextuality when both components - the spatial "inter" and the theoretical "textuality" - are taken at face value. In doing so, he highlights the innovative and productive contributions this concept makes to the exegesis of biblical texts. At the center is a decentralizing concept of meaning generation that takes into account the semiotic dynamics, performativity, complexity, and limitations of interpretive processes, as well as the inexhaustible richness of biblical texts in their intertextual and intermedial relationships and respective communicative contexts. Through concepts from intertextuality research, fundamental questions of human communication are thus brought into discussion: What can be meant by the "meaning" of a text, where and how is this meaning to be sought or constructed, and what characterizes the sign structure of a text? While the hermeneutic tradition of historical-critical exegesis is oriented toward the preposition "in" and presupposes a fixable locus of meaning, the preposition "inter" replaces the notion of a singular locus of meaning with a dynamic space of textual relationships that are constantly re-performed through the creative work of text producers and text recipients. The essays included in this volume offer a representative selection of Stefan Alkier's contributions to international intertextuality research over the past 25 years. The epilogue features an annotated bibliography looking back on 40 years of intertextuality research, as well as a previously unpublished in-depth interview with Richard B. Hays, the founder of New Testament intertextuality research, who passed away in 2025.

Intertextualität als Konzept neutestamentlicher Wissenschaft

Ruben van Wingerden investigates how the motif of bearing one's cross was interpreted in early Christianity up to the third century. First, he analyses the New Testament tradition: Mark and Matthew link cross-bearing with the readiness to die under persecution, while Luke tones down associations with physical death, presenting it as renunciation of possessions. John omits Simon of Cyrene and stresses Jesus' self-sufficiency in laying down his life. Simon himself is read against the background of the Greco-Roman motif of the noble death, where the innocent philosopher maintains his dignity.
 

 Secondly, the author traces subsequent interpretations by early Christian authors. Writers such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Cyprian, Novatian, and Origen developed a range of perspectives, from metaphorical to martyrological. A recurring insight is that cross-bearing was understood as readiness for martyrdom, never as a literal invitation to crucifixion. Origen marks the first instance in which Simon of Cyrene is linked to discipleship. Strikingly, Luke 9:23 with its "daily" addition disappears in these sources, reflecting a context where persecution required emphasis on immediate readiness for death rather than daily discipline. Moreover, sayings from Matthew and Luke often appear as blended formulae, indicating a flexible textual tradition. By situating these interpretations within Jewish, Roman, and philosophical frameworks, Ruben van Wingerden shows how early Christian readers reshaped the motif into a complex tradition that intertwined physical martyrdom with spiritual death to possessions, passions, and family ties.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament. Zweite Reihe

Manse Rim investigates the multifaceted connection between messiah and righteousness in ancient Jewish literature and in Paul's letters, seeking to move beyond the current impasse in Pauline justification studies. Ancient Jewish texts portray the association of messiah(s) with righteousness in several distinct ways: as moral virtue in relation to God, as administrative righteousness and justice exercised by the messiah as judge-king, and as eschatological righteousness linked with the heavenly realm and celestial immortality disclosed by the messiah on earth. In this interpretive framework, Paul's use of righteousness language becomes both intelligible and distinctive. It participates in established messianic patterns yet redefines them through an eschatological realization bestowed upon the followers of the messiah. This righteousness is expressed through confession, baptismal practice, and the reception of pneuma. Manse Rim thus offers a precise, textually grounded account that reframes Pauline justification within its Jewish messianic matrix.

An Interactive Journey Toward God's Own Heart

House of David (a Bible Study)

This volume is the outcome of a symposium on wisdom in the New Testament. It aims to deepen research on the topic in light of current developments in the field.
 

 The first section, 
 Perspectives from Ancient Wisdom Literature
 , offers complementary readings of ancient wisdom motifs in the New Testament, each showing how those motifs shaped early Christian thought. Dafni traces the trajectory of a succinct gnomic saying through Amenemope and Theognis, the Masoretic and Septuagint versions of Proverbs 27:1, and its echoes in the New Testament. Docherty shows that wisdom literature substantially shaped early Christian eschatological and ethical imagination.
 

 The second section, 
 Perspectives on Wisdom in the Synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles
 , illuminates how ancient wisdom traditions shape the Gospel portrayals of Jesus and early Christian identity. Viljoen traces wisdom motifs from Second Temple literature in Matthew's portrait of Jesus. Wagner examines the Two Ways teaching in Matthew as a persistent wisdom motif that originates in Old Testament wisdom literature and resurfaces in Matthew 7:13-14 and the Didache. Neumann reads the saying about the lamp of the body in the light of ancient theories of vision and shows how Matthew and Luke adapt the motif for different rhetorical purposes. Davis offers a synchronic reading of ¿¿¿¿¿ in Luke's Gospel and argues that wisdom functions less as discrete propositional knowledge than as a social marker distinguishing insiders from outsiders. Stenschke traces the role of wisdom in questions of leadership, conflict, and identity in Acts.
 

 In the third section, 
 Perspectives on Wisdom in the Johannine Literature
 , Anderson argues that John's revelatory portrait of Jesus does not derive from Gnostic sources, while Claussen contends that reading John's water imagery alongside the wisdom traditions clarifies the Gospel's Christology.
 

 The fourth section, 
 Perspectives on Wisdom in the Pauline Literature
 , probes how wisdom motifs shape Paul's teaching. Schluep reads 1 Corinthians 1-4 as a focused reflection on the word of the cross and God's wisdom in contrast to the wisdom of the world. Potgieter argues that Paul takes up and critically reworks expressions of a carpe diem ethos to show how such attitudes blur the boundary between wisdom and folly. White assesses the claim that Paul's designation of Christ as the "image of God" alludes to Wisdom 7:26; Kok shows how Jesus is presented as a prototype, drawing on Jewish wisdom motifs.
 

 The fifth section, 
 Perspectives on Wisdom in the Epistle of James and the "Letter" to the Hebrews
 , explores how wisdom language and motifs function within these books, with contributions from Bertolet on James 3:13-18, Coetsee on ¿¿¿¿ß¿¿¿/¿¿¿¿ß¿¿¿¿¿ in Hebrews, Nagel on the language of knowing the Lord, and Steyn on the ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ motif.
 

 Together, these essays offer a multifaceted account of how wisdom traditions shape New Testament theology, ethics, and communal identity. By situating the texts within their Jewish and Hellenistic contexts, the contributions invite continued scholarly reflection on the formative role of wisdom across early Christian writings.
