Exegetische Studien

In this volume, Otfried Hofius presents a collection of studies on central texts of the Gospels, Paul's Epistles and the Septuagint as well as on basic themes in New Testament theology and hermeneutics. Among other things, he deals with the christological-soteriological testimony to the major miracle stories in Mark 9:14-29 and John 11:1-44, the Pauline view of the law, justification, reconciliation, the Holy Communion and the resurrection of the dead, the biblical concept of the essence and the significance of the apostles of Jesus Christ and the statements in the New Testament about community leadership and the governing body of the church. The essays attempt to combine philological textual understanding and theological interpretation in an appropriate manner and in doing so show that understanding of New Testament scholarship which is the special subject of two of the essays in this volume.
