In his new work "The Sovereignty of God in Salvation", E. Earle Ellis sets out to explore God's sovereign purpose both in individual salvation and in the salvation history, within which the Bible has been authored, transmitted, interpreted and communicated. In the process he touches on such themes as the nature of free will; the manifestation God's sovereignty in the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul; the presence of God's hand in the transmission and interpretation of the biblical texts; and new perspectives on both the modern inclination to emphasise Paul's use of Graeco-Roman rhetoric as well as the contemporary reception of the biblical message. The sovereignty of God forms an overarching theme throughout.
This volume presents, in published form, the detailed commentary work of E. Earle Ellis on Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. At the time of his death Ellis had been working for many years on a volume for the International Critical Commentary on the epistle. Because Ellis was unable to complete the volume before his passing and had left instructions that it should not be completed, Terry Wilder instead presents Ellis’ profound exegetical insights in the form of his completed commentary sections on 1 Corinthians, with minimal editorial intervention. In addition to collating Ellis’ detailed critical commentary on 1 Corinthians chapters 1-13, with edited notes on chapter 14, Wilder has also completed an original editorial essay that provides a synthesis of Ellis’ notes and thinking on chapters 15 and 16. Closely assessing the letter’s address, salutation and thanksgiving and Paul’s words on true and false wisdom, sexual relationships, liberty’s boundaries and the regulation of church services, Ellis’ final work is a crucial resource for a core New Testament text.

Do we "really" know who wrote the New Testament documents? Do we really know "when" they were written? Scholars have long debated these fundamental questions. This volume identifies and investigates literary traditions and their implications for the authorship and dating of the Gospels and the letters of the New Testament. Departing from past scholarship, E. Earle Ellis argues that the Gospels and the letters are products of the corporate authorship of four allied apostolic missions and not just the creation of individual authors. The analysis of literary traditions also has implications for the dating of New Testament documents. Providing a critique of the current critical orthodoxy with respect to the dating of New Testament documents, Ellis weighs the patristic traditions more heavily and more critically than has been done in the past. Ellis's new reconstruction of the origin of the New Testament documents provides better answers than have been previously proposed to a number of critical questions. Ellis provides a comprehensive historical reconstruction of the process by which the gospel message became the Gospel books. His arguments, if persuasive, will require a reassessment of the history of early Christianity. Please note that "The Making of the New Testament Documents" was previously published by Brill in hardback, ISBN 90 04 11332 0 (no longer available).
This book is a sequel to the author's "The Making of the New
Testament Documents (Brill, 1999), placing it within the context of
two centuries of research and then expanding its brief treatment of
a number of important issues. It critiques the hypothesis of
'innocent' apostolic pseudepigrapha and investigates historical and
literary evidence for dating the New Testament books, for Paul's
mission to Spain, and for his subsequent composition of the
Pastoral epistles. It also gives extended attention to the identity
and the roles of Paul's co-workers.
