Description

Following his well-received Apostle Paul, prominent European scholar Udo Schnelle now offers a major new theology of the New Testament. The work has been translated into English from the original German, with bibliographic adaptations, by leading American scholar M. Eugene Boring.This comprehensive critical introduction combines historical and theological analysis. Schnelle begins with the teaching of Jesus and continues with a discussion of the theology of Paul. He then moves on to the Synoptic Gospels; the deutero-Pauline, catholic, and Johannine letters; and Revelation, paying due attention to authorship, chronology, genre, and canonical considerations. This is an essential book for anyone with a scholarly interest in the New Testament.

Translator’s Preface
Udo Schnelle has established himself as a scholar of international reputation especially by his works on Paul and John. [1] His comprehensive introduction to New Testament studies has become the standard work in German-speaking countries. [2] He is editor of a multivolume collection of texts from the Hellenistic world that illuminate the context and interpretation of the New Testament. [3] In the present volume, he integrates, updates, and expands his previous work into a full-scale theology of the New Testament that brings together detailed individual studies under a single overarching perspective. His command of primary sources from the Hellenistic world and of the vast secondary literature of New Testament exegesis and interpretation is documented in the footnotes and bibliography, but that the volume is rooted in careful study of the New Testament itself is manifest in the more than 10,000 biblical references. Udo Schnelle presents his own point of view with clarity, in the context of a discussion of alternatives addressed with fairness and respect. He is an active churchman, has served as the pastor of a congregation, and writes as one concerned to allow the New Testament authors to speak their own messages, and to equip modern readers to perceive their theological breadth and depth. This book not only informs, it also generates dialogue—with the author, with his conversation partners past and present, and with the New Testament itself. These are among the reasons I am glad to have a part in commending it to the English-speaking world.
At the author’s and the publisher’s request, I have augmented the bibliography with English books and articles, mostly listing books and articles comparable to the ample German bibliography already present, for the benefit of students who do not read German, and I have combined the author’s original sectional bibliographies into a single comprehensive bibliography in the back of the book. I have also complied with the author’s and publisher’s request that I occasionally provide translator’s notes on the German text reflecting the European context with which the reader might not be familiar. In both cases, I have kept my own contributions to a minimum. (My notes are generally in square brackets and signed with my initials.)
For biblical citations, I have generally followed the NRSV, sometimes adjusting it to accommodate the emphasis or particular nuance of the German text cited or translated by the author. For translations of literature from the Hellenistic world, I have generally followed the Loeb Classical Library.
The translation has been read by the author, Udo Schnelle, and by James Ernest of Baker Academic. Each made helpful suggestions that contributed to a more readable and accurate translation, and to each I express my deep gratitude.

Author’s Preface to the German Edition
The goal of this Theology of the New Testament is a comprehensive presentation of the variety and riches of the New Testament world of thought. Each author and each text of the New Testament focuses on their common center, Jesus Christ—each from their own perspective. It is precisely this plurality of perspectives that opens up new vistas for faith, facilitating a new level of thinking and acting.
I here express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Horn (Mainz), who has read particular chapters of this book and has given helpful responses. I would also like to thank my academic assistant Markus Göring (Halle), and Martin Söffing, theology student at Halle, for their help in correcting the proofs.
