Exegetische Aufsätze

In this volume, Ulrich Luz presents 32 exegetical studies, nearly all of which were written between 1985 and 2015. Five of these are published for the first time while five others make their German language debut. The majority of the studies are reproduced in German with others in English. The author deals among other things with the Sayings-Source Q, the gospels of Mark and John as well as the Corpus Paulinum. Each chapter is prefaced by an annotative, evaluating introduction. In the chapter on Matthew - the most important focus of his work - Ulrich Luz pursues the fundamental hermeneutic question of how we are to read Matthew's Jesus story from the inside; that is, as participants. What understanding of »truth« does Matthew presuppose?
