Deutungen des Todes Jesu im Neuen Testament

The collected essays in this volume deal with the current discussion on the meaning of Jesus' death. The authors look at this topic from various perspectives: the question of pagan, Old Testament, Jewish background, and different interpretations in the New Testament, reception in the early church and in the Gospel of Thomas, and systematic theological contributions. The volume makes a significant contribution to the ongoing debate on the interpretation of Jesus' death and its meaning for Christian theology.
