Volume one of three -- birth narratives through the Galilean
ministry of Jesus.
Acclaimed New Testament scholar Francois Bovon engagingly and
concisely explores the last days of Jesus. Detailing the
similarities and differences in the passion narratives of the four
canonical Gospels and the "Gospel of Peter," he shows that these
stories were not composed by objective witnesses but are
reflections of the perspectives of those who wrote them. This
lucid, highly readable, yet critical appraisal of Jesus' final days
is a masterful example of the discipline of biblical studies.
This collection provides a rich, multilayered analysis of a
long-neglected branch of early Christian apocryphal literature that
examines the relationship between tradition and redaction, uses of
language, and the fluid border between literary criticism and motif
analysis. The introduction takes the reader on the journey of
editing, translating, and interpreting apocryphal and hagiographic
narratives on the apostles and the first Christians. The volume
concludes with the critical edition of two previously unpublished
Greek texts: a version of the Martyrdom of Ananias and a memoir on
John the Evangelist.

Francois Bovon's magisterial commentary on the Gospel of Luke is
justly renowned for its combination of judicious historical and
literary treatment of the Evangelist's context and for its
theological sensitivity, informed by the wealth of the Christian
interpretative tradition. Luke is clearly writing history in the
manner of his Hellenistic and Jewish contemporaries, but Bovon
insists he remains as well "a theologian of the Word of God." This
volume completes the three-volume work (based upon Bovon's four
volumes in the German EKK series) and represents the author's
careful revision and updating of the German original.
In this completely revised and updated edition, Francois Bovon
provides a critical assessment of the last fifty-five years of
scholarship on Luke-Acts. The study divides thematically, with
individual chapters covering the subjects of history and
eschatology, the role of the Old Testament, Christology, the Holy
Spirit, conversion, and the church. Each chapter begins with a
consideration of the exegetical and theological problems unique to
each theme in Luke-Acts before providing a detailed survey and
critique of contemporary English, German, French, Spanish, and
Italian New Testament scholarship.
This is the second volume of Franois Bovon's three-volume
commentary on the Gospel of Luke, covering the narration of Jesus'
travel on the road to Jerusalemthe occasion in Luke of most of
Jesus' teachings to the disciples regarding faithfulness,
perseverance, and the practice of justice and mercy. Bovon's
theological interest in Luke is at the forefront here: as he
declares in the preface, "I wish to examine his Gospel with the
sober reserve of a scholar and with the confidence of a believer.
For I hope in this manner to arrive at genuine understanding." Also
distinctive is Bovon's attention to the history of interpretation
of this Gospel through time.
Francois Bovon and Christopher Matthews utilise manuscript evidence
gathered within the last half-century to provide a new translation
of the apocryphal Acts of Philip. Discovered by Bovon in 1974 at
the Xenophontos monastery in Greece, the manuscript is widely known
as one of the most unabridged copies of the Acts yet discovered.
Bovon and Matthews' new translation incorporates this witness to
the Greek text, which sheds new light on the history of earliest
Christianity.
