Who Was James?: Essays on the Letter's Authorship and Provenance (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament)

This Volume Takes Up The Current Scholarly Debate On The Literary Profile And The Author Of The Letter Of James.

The Essays Of This Volume Present New Insights Into James' Literary Concept And Multifaceted Authorial Profile Based On The Latest Research In Ancient (epistolary) Author-literature, Provide New Methodological Perspectives On Early Christian Epistolary Authorship, And Situate The Letter Of James Within The Context Of An Emerging Christ-believing Literary Culture. Edited By Eve-marie-becker, Sigurvin Lárus Jónsson, And Susanne Luther. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. Who Was »james«? Profiling The Epistolary Author And His Provenience.
