Übergemeindliche Verbindungen in den Briefen der paulinischen Mission
Christoph W. Stenschke widmet sich einer bislang kaum beachteten Dimension der paulinischen Mission: den übergemeindlichen Verbindungen zwischen den frühen christlichen Gemeinden. In einem ersten Schritt umreißt er die Forschungsfelder, in denen diese Beziehungen für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft relevant sind - etwa für Einleitungsfragen, die historische Rekonstruktion des frühen Christentums, die Ekklesiologie und die theologische Einheit …

Traces of De-Escalation or Resolution of Religious Conflict, Coexistence and Cooperation, and Transition and Assimilation in the Acts of the Apostles
This article focuses on the book of Acts, which contains the first systematic account of some strands of the earliest Christian mission. At first sight, the book abounds with conflicts of various kinds and the suffering of Christ-believers that on occasion resulted from their missionary efforts. However, owing to recent theorising about religious conflict, other aspects can also be detected in these accounts of conflict. Amid intensive missionary…
Emissary to Jews in the Diaspora and to Some Non-Jews, Champion of Jewish Monotheism and Circumspect of Diaspora Judaism
In Christian tradition, Paul is the apostle to the nations. However, his portrayal in the Book of Acts is more nuanced. For a longer period, Paul's ministry is limited to Jews. Only from Acts 13 onwards does Paul slowly emerge as ministering to non-Jews. Yet even then, Paul remains foremost an emissary to diaspora Judaism. In its apology for Paul and his disputed way of including non-Jews into the people of God, Acts emphasises that Paul did so w…

A mission made to last
This essay examines how the Book of Acts portrays Paul as a sustainable leader. Paul not only preached the Gospel, but also gathered his converts into communities, trained and installed their leaders, visited these communities regularly, and co-operated with a large group of co-workers whom he would train to take over from him. He readily made himself available as an example for others to follow. Paul established churches in major urban centres, …
So dass ihr ein Vorbild geworden seid für alle Gläubigen in Makedonien und Achaia” (1Thess 1,7)
The occurrences, nature and significance of translocal relationships of early Christian communities are discussed in several issues in New Testament studies. This article examines such links in 1 Thessalonians, one of the early letters of the Pauline mission. Translocal links are constituted through the exchange of information and journeys before the composition of the letter; through the authors who are embedded in early Christian communities, s…
Emphasis and Advocacy in Annotating and Translating the Bible
The past decades have seen several editions of the Bible with distinct emphases. Examples of such special-audience editions of the Bible are particularly aimed at women, men or young people. There are also particular “Bibles”, or parts thereof, for bikers, for instance, or a Bible edition that highlights verses concerning issues of justice. The vast majority of these Bible editions, which try to address a particular audience or promote/advocate a…
Acts
Although early Judaism was a diverse movement, the vast majority of Jews at the time would have agreed on a set of core convictions, including the persuasion that non-Jews could not simply join the people of Israel as non-Jews. Rather, they had to become Jews. During the two or three decades after the ministry of Jesus, one early Jewish group – at least some of its members! – denounced this consensus and started to accept non-Jews, based on their…

The Eucharist
Lifestyle and leadership according to Paul’s statement of account before the Ephesian elders in Acts 20
In the book of Acts, the Apostle Paul provides examples of leadership and displays significant leadership skills. In the speech to church leaders from Ephesus in Acts 20, he is presented as giving an account of his approach, detailing all the challenges involved. This article analyses how the Paul of Acts understood his own leadership role, in particular, the need for integrity, emotional involvement in the process and ceaseless effort. The artic…

The prophet like Moses (Dt 18
This article traces some of the trajectories of the Deuteronomic announcement of a ‘prophet like Moses’. After examining its meaning in the immediate context, the article first traces references to this figure in early Jewish sources. It then examines how Jesus is portrayed as the prophet of Deuteronomy 18 in the Gospels. What is meant when people ask whether Jesus could be the prophet? Would he himself identify with this figure through word and …

The leadership challenges of Paul's collection for the saints in Jerusalem
In addition to many other activities, the Apostle Paul was involved in a large-scale fund raising project. Following a charge he once had received in Jerusalem to remember the poor (Gl 2:10), Paul tried to convince the predominantly Gentile Christian churches which he had founded to contribute to a collection for the impoverished Jewish Christians of Jerusalem. For the potential donors it was far from obvious that they should be involved in benef…

Luke's Portrait of Gentiles Prior to Their Coming to Faith
Christoph W. Stenschke examines Luke's portrait of the Gentiles' state prior to their coming to Christian faith. Following the history of research, he commences with Luke's direct references to the Gentiles prior to faith and then draws conclusions concerning their state from the Gentile encounter with Jesus and Christian salvation. This includes Luke's notes on the condition of Gentiles and on their appropriation of salvation. Finally conclusion…
