Heil und Geschichte

This volume combines the contributions to a conference held in honor of Martin Hengel on the problem of the history of salvation. In more than 30 articles, the authors discuss the issue in its exegetical and theological dimensions. The subjects range from the Hebrew Bible, Josephus, Philo, Qumran and the rabbis, including the major New Testament writers, the Greco-Roman world, Irenaeus and the Gnostics Augustine and Luther to the modern interpreters such as Kant and Hamann, von Hofmann, Bultmann, Löwith, Rosenstock-Huessy and Pannenberg. The aim of this volume is to take a new look at the long-neglected issue of the history of salvation and the fundamental relationship between history and theology.
