Studien zur Christologie

This volume contains 13 studies written by Martin Hengel between 1967 and 2004 on the subject of New Testament theology. In these studies, the author deals mainly with the origins of Christology in the early Christian community. His subjects are the meaning of Jesus' death for salvation, Easter, Psalm 110 and the kyrios title, the son of God, the early Christian hymns and the relationship between the development of Christology and early Christian chronology. He attaches considerable importance to the Jewish background of Christology and its connection with Jesus' claim to be the Messiah, which led to his crucifixion.
