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.
With respect to preformed traditions, a major topic of the earlier
volume, it devotes special attention to biblical expositions in the
teaching of Jesus and in the New Testament generally. In conclusion
it draws out the implications of preformed traditions for the
origins of Paul's christology.

their historical and hermeneutical context. New interpretations are
offered in the light of contemporary scholarly discussion and
debate. This publication has also been published in hardback,
