With a Preface by Eugene N. Borza

The Norton edition of Ulrich Wilcken's distinguished biography has made available for almost three decades a classic study enhanced with a modern scholars notes, bibliography, and introduction to Alexander studies.

Das Werk besteht aus zwei BAnden bzw. sechs TeilbAnden (Bd. I besteht aus vier, Bd. II aus zwei TeilbAnden), die aufeinander aufbauen, sich aber auch wechselseitig bedingen. Bd. I/1 enthAlt eine ausfA"hrliche EinfA"hrung in das Gesamtwerk und einen ersten Abschnitt des historischen Teils: eine Skizze der religiAsen Situation der Menschen in der Umwelt der ersten Christen, eine Darstellung des Wirkens Jesu im Zeichen der "KAnigsherrschaft Gottes", eine Entfaltung der VerkA"ndigung und Lehre Jesu sowie der Aussendung der zwAlf JA"nger als Boten der Gottesherrschaft. Bd. I/2 setzt die historische NacherzAhlung der Geschichte Jesu fort: von seinem Entschluss, zur Passa- Feier nach Jerusalem zu ziehen, bis zu seinem Tod am Kreuz, der Auffindung des leeren Grabs und den Erscheinungen des Auferstandenen, der Anerkennung der Heidenmission und der einen Kirche aus Juden und Heiden. Bd. I/3 behandelt die Briefe des Paulus und seiner SchA"ler sowie der Theologen aus dem Bereich der judenchristlichen Heidenmission, Bd. I/4 die Evangelien, die Apostelgeschichte, die Johannesbriefe, die Johannesoffenbarung sowie die Entstehung des neutestamentlichen Kanons. Die TeilbAnde II/1-2 haben dogmatischen Charakter. Sie behandeln die Einheit der urchristlichen Theologie, die lebendige Verbindung der Glaubenden mit dem Messias Jesus, die vielfAltige Erfahrung des Wirkens des Geistes im Zusammenleben der Glaubenden sowie die Hoffnung auf die Heilsvollendung in der nahen Endzeit.

In this critical story of scientific interpretation of the Bible from the Enlightenment to the present it is stated: From the beginning it was believed that reason precluded the existence of the living God, who works wonderfully on people. A reasonable "historical-critical" interpretation could only be about how Jesus and the first Christians probably introduced themselves to God and lived in faith in him. This book is intended to convince young theologians that this whole way of "bible criticism" is based on theological as well as historical prerequisites; and they should be encouraged to take exegesis seriously for the reality of the God proclaimed in the Bible.
