Here an international team of scholars, draws out the implications of the newest scholarship on the nature of apocalypticism for the variety of New Testament writings. Each entry presses the boundaries of current discussion regarding the nature of apocalypticism in application to a particular New Testament author. The cumulative effect is to reveal, as never before, early Christianity, its Christology, cosmology, and eschatology, as expressions of tendencies in Second Temple Judaism.

This volume deals with aspects of the early Christian mission and its context. The articles, which were presented originally at a symposium which took place from 30 September to 1 October 2014, cover problem areas in New Testament exegesis (Gospels, Acts, Paul and Deutero-Pauline) as well as in church history (referring to traditions of mission in Africa and Asia), and together they provide an introduction into the possible interpretations and perspectives which emerge when reading selected literature attentively. Contributors:Hans-Joachim Eckstein, Desta Heliso, Beth Langstaff, Hermann Lichtenberger, Peter F. Penner, Rainer Riesner, Günter Stemberger, Gert Steyn, Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Li Tang, Michael Tilly, Korinna Zamfir

In this book, a range of distinguished contributors considers the context and formation of early Jewish and Christian devotion to God alone - the emergence of 'monotheism'.
