Make Disciples of All Nations: The Appeal and Authority of Christian Faith in Hellenistic-Roman Times (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament 2.Reihe)

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.
