Georg Strecker – författare

In this volume, Georg Strecker profiles the New Testament with major treatments of Paul, Jesus, the Synoptics, John, and the General Letters. Strecker argues for a rich mosaic of theologies rather than one single New Testament theology. He adopts a redaction-critical appraoch and thus highlights the background of and relationships among the New Testament writings. Strecker's relentless pursuit of the distinctive views of each specific writing allows the complexity of the New Testament to emerge.

Contents are the theological conceptions of the authors of the New Testament, considered from systematic viewpoints, in the following sequence: Paul, the synoptics (Jesus, the saying-source), the Johannine literature (including the Apocalypse of John), the deutero-Pauline writings, the catholic epistles.

The series of Greek Christian Writers of the First Centuries AD (GCS) started in Leipzig in 1897, then moved to Berlin, and to Walter de Gruyter in 2001 and has been publishing the results of the Academy Project ”Greek Christian Writers”, which was launched in the then Royal Prussian Academy and has been continued by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy. It publishes large critical editions with historically-oriented introductions and indexes of those works which originated in the Graecophone part of the ancient Christian Roman Empire and have not been included in the other major series of editions. The objective is to provide complete coverage of the first three centuries.
