Presbyters and the Development of Church Offices
This article questions two central presuppositions of recent research on early Christian ecclesial office. It argues that bishops and presbyters should not be too readily equated and that ecclesial office was not as closely connected to the providers of liturgical space (owners of house churches) as is often assumed

Paul’s Letters to the Seven Churches and Their Pastoral Appendix
This article deals with the issue of the collection and formation of the Corpus Paulinum . It argues that a collection of Pauline letters to seven churches was crucial to this development. This collection possibly also included Hebrews in conjunction with Romans, but not Philemon. Another parallel collection was made of four letters to individuals, but was not popularised until later. When the two collections were merged into the present Corpus P…
Paul and the Jesus Tradition
The relationship between Paul and the Jesus tradition is a central issue in New Testament scholarship. Although it is customary to look for Gospel traditions in the Pauline epistles, an opposite approach would better fit the chronology of the sources. It is more probable that the evangelists were influenced by Paul than the other way around. For this reason, a re-evaluation of the development of the Jesus tradition from Jesus, via Paul, and to th…
Ignatius, Polycarp, and Their Reception in the Second Century
Es spricht manches dafür, dass der Römerbrief des Ignatius der einzige authentische Brief des Bischofs von Antiochien ist und dass die anderen sechs Briefe der sogenannten mittleren Rezension auf einen späteren Zeitpunkt zwischen 150 und 170 n. Chr. zu datieren sind. Für ein Bild der Person des Ignatius ist auch Polykarp von Smyrna und sein Brief an die Philipper als frühes Zeugnis heranzuziehen. Sowohl Ignatius als auch Polykarp sind frühchristl…

Peter's Legacy in Early Christianity
John-Christian Eurell studies how Peter's authority is portrayed to create legitimacy in Christian texts. Peter emerges as a central figure in the diverse early Christian movement and is used to discuss theological legitimacy. The main divide is between those who argue that legitimate theology should have a conservative point of departure based on traditional material handed down from the earthly Jesus and an apostolic succession based on interpe…
Reconsidering the John of Revelation
The historical context of the Revelation of John is a much-debated issue. This article discusses the most popular theories concerning the dating and authorship of Revelation and finds them wanting. Rather than being a composition of an otherwise unknown prophet named John in the late first century, it is argued that Revelation should be regarded as one of many pseudonymous apocalypses that are composed in the early second century
Becoming Christian
The origin of the designation χριστιανός is ambiguous. In this article, the use of this term is studied with special emphasis on how it reflects the self- understanding of the early Christians in the respective texts. In the late first and early second centuries, the term appears to have been something of a title of honour and an ideal which Christ-believers wished to attain. Toward the end of the second century, χριστιανός was somewhat diluted i…
The Delay of the Parousia and the Changed Function of Eschatological Language
Although the New Testament texts show an awareness of the problems involved with the delay of the parousia, they still defend the legitimacy of the belief in its imminence. A similar pattern can also be found in other early Christian texts. The strategies for coping with and explaining the delay of the parousia change over time, and ultimately the understanding of “imminence” itself is developed. Although belief in the parousia appears to have be…
Mariological Developments in the New Testament
The Christian views on the significance of Mary have developed over a long time. This article studies what Mariological developments can be detected in the canonical New Testament and what they might tell us concerning the significance of Mary in early Christian theology
