This work, the inaugural volume in a new SBL series devoted to
preserving and promoting seminal biblical scholarship from the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, offers the first English
translation of Albert Eichhorn's influential Das Abendmahl im Neuen
Testament. Eichhorn's penetrating analysis of the Lord's Supper
traditions in this work exemplifies the qualities for which he was
so highly esteemed: the sure ability to distinguish layers of
tradition within the text, the full appreciation of the role of
early Christian worship in shaping the reports about Jesus' life,
the forthright acknowledgement of the difficulty of ascertaining
the original historical events, and the unflinching recognition of
the influence of Near Eastern and Hellenistic religions upon
Christian tradition, even in its earliest stages. To set Eichhorn
himself in his historical and intellectual context, this volume
also offers the first English translation of Hugo Gressmann's
biographical essay: "Albert Eichhorn and the History of Religion
School." Paperback edition is available from the Society of
Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)
