NEW BOOK FROM MOHR SIEBECK:
Jesus, Paulus und die Texte von Qumran
Hrsg. v. Jörg Frey u. Enno Edzard Popkes unter Mitarb. v. Sophie Tätweiler
[Jesus, Paul, and the Qumran Texts.]


Published in German.

In this volume the relevance of the Qumran discoveries for the interpretation of Jesus and the Jesus tradition and of the Pauline epistles is discussed in detailed studies and thematic overviews. The focus is on Jesus' position toward the Sabbath and his eschatology, Paul's use of the scriptures and his method of interpretation and the relevance of the Hodayot and of 4QInstruction for the interpretation of New Testament texts. An extensive study utilizes the Qumran insights on the Aramaic language in the late Second Temple period for a new Aramaic reconstruction of the Lord's Prayer.
