Overview

The Catholic Epistles and Apostolic Tradition asks two questions: Can the Catholic Epistles from James to Jude be fruitfully examined in relation to each other, without contrasting them with the Pauline Epistles? And, if so, will we learn something new about them and early Christianity? The essayists here answer """"yes"""" and """"yes,"""" offering provocative perspectives on James, the Johannine epistles, the Petrine epistles, and Jude. Additional contributors are Ernst Baasland (Church of Norway), Lutz Doering (University of London--King's College), Reinhard Felmeier (University of Guttingen), J?Ârg Frey (University of Munich), Scott J. Hafemann (Gordon-Conwell Seminary), Patrick J. Hartin (Gonzaga University), John S. Kloppenborg (University of Toronto), Matthias Konradt (University of Berne), David R. Nienhuis (Seattle Pacific University), and John Painter (Charles Sturt University).

Reviews

Summa summarum, this is a significant contribution to, and stimulation of, conversation on the formation of the New Testament canon and of the place and function of the Catholic Epistles within the canon. It is likewise to be hailed for its needed attention to some neglected canonical waifs. -- Review of Biblical Literature This volume is important and highly stimulating for those who study James or the collection of [Catholic Epistles]. -- Pieter J.
