Jens Schrater's collection of essays seeks to penetrate deeply below the surface of the New Testament and its history and historical figures, and to bring into a meaningful perspective the theology and history that gave rise to the faith of the earliest Christians. Many think a New Testament canon is a snapshot of what went on, but Schrater shows that the canon itself can only be understood in light of a long history of developments in different directions. --Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary Schrater does what very few New Testament scholars--whether English- or German-speaking--manage: to ground his historical analysis explicitly in a nuanced and sophisticated theoretical discussion of what it means to do history. Schrater's book serves as a superb introduction to and analysis of German New Testament scholarship. --Adele Reinhartz, Full Professor, Department of Classics and Religious Studies, University of Ottawa
