Im Kommentar zum Hohelied, in dem Origenes sich nach den Worten des Hieronymus selbst übertroffen hat, deutet er die in einer dramatischen Erzählung geschilderte Liebe zwischen Braut und Bräutigam auf die Beziehung zwischen dem göttlichen Wort und der menschlichen Seele bzw. Christus und der Kirche. Da in der personalen Ekklesiologie des Origenes die Kirche eine kollektive Person aus den Seelen aller Gläubigen bildet, konvergieren die beiden Auslegungslinien und gehen oft ineinander über. Im Zuge der Auslegung werden Grundgedanken christlicher Spiritualität wie der Begriff der Liebe, die Ordnung der Liebe oder die Selbsterkenntnis als Weg zur Gotteserkenntnis ausführlich erläutert. Die Basis der Exegese bildet die Einstufung des Hoheliedes als höchster Stufe der christlichen Philosophie, auf der die vollkommene Seele zur Schau Gottes gelangt. Diese Deutung prägte die christliche Hoheliedauslegung, die bis an das Ende des Mittelalters aus Fußnoten zu Origenes besteht. Der Band enthält die erste deutsche Übersetzung dieses Kommentars mit ausführlichen Erläuterungen.

Klaus Wachtel has pioneered the creation of major editions of the Greek New Testament through a blend of traditional philological approaches and innovative digital tools. In this volume, an international range of New Testament scholars and editors honour his achievements with thirty-one original studies. Many of the themes mirror Wachtel's own publications on the history of the Byzantine text, the identification of manuscript families and groups, detailed analysis of individual witnesses and the development of software and databases to support the editorial process. Other contributions draw on the production of the Editio Critica Maior, with reference to the Gospels of Mark and John, the Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline Epistles and the Apocalypse. Several chapters consider the application of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method. A wide selection of material is considered, from papyri to printed editions. The Greek text is analysed from multiple perspectives, including exegesis, grammar and orthography, alongside evidence from versions in Latin, Syriac, Coptic and Gothic. This collection provides new insights into the history of the biblical text and the creation, development, analysis and application of modern editions.

Der vorliegende Band geht der Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Platonismus und Christentum in der Spätantike im Blick auf die Themen Gottesbild, Weltentstehung, Schöpfung, Providenz und Freiheit nach. Wieweit sind antik-christliche Autoren von platonischem Denken geprägt? Wo und wie nehmen sie es gar als hermeneutischen Schlüssel zur Welterklärung? Wieweit wirken christliche Schriftsteller auf den Neuplatonismus zurück? Die Beiträge von Christoph Markschies, Holger Strutwolf, Christian Pietsch und Alfons Fürst wurden bei einem Kolloquium zum 85. Geburtstag von Barbara Aland vorgestellt und sind im vorliegenden Band samt einer Replik der Jubilarin und einer kurzen Einführung von Eve-Marie Becker versammelt.

The most up-to-date text of the Greek New Testament with an easily accessible critical apparatus.After more than ten years of intensive preparation, a new edition of the UBS Greek New Testament (6th edition) is now available. It offers the most current Greek text, incorporating the textual changes from the volumes of the Editio Critica Maior on the Acts of the Apostles (2017), the Gospel of Mark (2021), and Revelation (2025). As a result, the text differs from that of the 5th edition in well over 100 places. The text is identical to that of the 29th edition of the Novum Testamentum Graece ("Nestle-Aland"), which is currently in preparation for 2026.The apparatus contains clearly structured entries covering all significant variants of the text. The selection of passages was guided by their relevance for the translation and interpretation of the text. The significance of the so-called Textus Receptus has also been given greater consideration compared to earlier editions. The selection of manuscripts has, on the one hand, been focused on the most important witnesses compared to the 5th edition, and on the other, supplemented by new manuscripts (Papyri 128 to 141). A clearly written introduction (in English) provides an accessible entry point to the edition.Overall, this work is better suited than ever for those beginning exegetical and text-critical work on the New Testament in its original language.It is edited by an international and interdenominational committee, which is also responsible for NA29 and works closely with the Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung: Hugh Houghton, Christos Karakolis, David Parker, Stephen Pisano, Holger Strutwolf, David Trobisch, and Klaus Wachtel.
