Studien zum Urchristentum

Volume VI of Martin Hengel's 'Selected Essays' contains 17 texts written over a period of 36 years between 1971 and 2007. They focus on aspects of Lukan historiography as the basis for our knowledge of early Christianity. However, the volume also contains studies of the origins of gnosis, the mission of the early church, the early history of Christianity and the history of Christian society as well as crucifixion in antiquity. All the texts have been checked and additions have been made to some of them. They represent a part of the author's scholarly work in the period mentioned.
