The monograph is devoted to a crucial point of Christian theology:
its development from the short formulae of the 'gospel'
(euangelion) - as the first reflected expressions of Christian
faith - to the theology of literary Gospels as texts that evoked
the idea of Christian canon as a counterpart of the "Law and
Prophets". In the formulae of the oral gospel the apocalyptic
expectations are adapted into a "doubled" or "split" eschatology:
The Messiah has appeared, but the messianic reign is still the
object of expectation. The experience with Jesus' post Easter
impact has been named as "resurrection" of which God was the
subject. Since the apocalyptic "resurrection" applied for many or
all people, the resurrection of Jesus became a guarantee of hope.
The last chapters analyze the role of the oral gospel in shaping
the earliest literary Gospel (Mark). This book analyses Gospels as
texts that (re-)introduced Jesus traditions into the Christian
liturgy and literature. Concluding paragraphs are devoted to the
titles of the individual Gospels and to the origins of the idea of
Christian canon.
