The Brill Exegetical Commentary Series delivers critical commentaries on the books of the New Testament. Each volume presents detailed comments organized in four major sections: textual criticism, linguistically informed exegesis, history, and theology. This structure intentionally highlights the unique contribution of each area, with the overall focus always placed upon exegesis that pays attention to the language of the text. Commentators bring the latest research to bear and seek to inform readers about the particular biblical book, rather than provide a compendium of the opinions of others. Each commentary is designed to make a substantial contribution to New Testament scholarship in its several different important facets, but particularly in its attention to the Greek text as the center of the commentary task. The Brill Exegetical Commentary Series will be an essential resources for all advanced students and scholars of the New Testament.
Supplements to Novum Testamentum publishes monographs and collections of essays that make original contributions to the field of New Testament studies. This includes text-critical, philological and exegetical studies, and investigations which seek to situate early Christian texts (both canonical and non-canonical) and theology in the broader context of Jewish and Graeco-Roman history, culture, religion and literature.
From Paul to the Late Sixth Century
Author:
In this volume Julien M. Ogereau investigates the origins and development of Christianity in the Roman province of Macedonia in the first six centuries CE. Drawing from the oldest literary sources, Ogereau reconstructs the earliest history of the first Christian communities in the region and explores the legacy of the apostle Paul in the cities of Philippi, Thessalonica, and Beroea. Turning to the epigraphic and archaeological evidence, Ogereau then examines Christianity’s dissemination throughout the province and its impact on Macedonian society in late antiquity, especially on its epigraphic habits and material culture.

Neu übersetzt
Der vorliegende 4. Band des Frankfurter Neuen Testaments bietet eine philologisch-kritische Neuübersetzung des Lukas-Evangeliums und der sogenannten Apostelgeschichte, die im Griechischen als "Taten der Abgesandten" betitelt ist. In der bewährten Zusammenarbeit eines Theologen und eines Altphilologen orientieren sich Stefan Alkier und Thomas Paulsen an der Semantik des Koine-Griechischen und ahmen weitgehend auch die griechische Satzstellung nach.So werden Leserinnen und Leser in die Lage versetzt, sich ein eigenes Bild vom theologischen und ästhetischen Gehalt dieser nur scheinbar vertrauten zentralen Werke der abendländischen Geistesgeschichte zu machen, das so wenig wie möglich durch vorgegebene Interpretationen vorgeprägt ist. Die Einleitung vergleicht Sprache und Stil der beiden Texte, stellt Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen fest, so dass fraglich wird, ob es sich nur um einen Verfasser handelte. Der Epilog befragt beide Texte bezüglich ihres Beitrags zu Prozessen kollektiver Identitätsbildung.

Author:
This book offers the first detailed commentary on the Gnostic treatises reported by Irenaeus in Adversus Haereses 1.29–30. It is argued that these texts represent the earliest tangible layer of the Gnostic literary tradition and served as sources for the Apocryphon of John and other later works. They also formed the starting point for Valentinus and his followers, who sought to reconcile the ideas of the Gnostics with apostolic Christianity. The book also shows that Irenaeus and later heresiologists referred to “the Gnostics” as a specific group among the great mass of heretics.

Essays in Honor of Sebastian P. Brock
No one mentions Syriac, – a dialect of the Aramaic language Jesus spoke –, without referring to Sebastian P. Brock, the Oxford scholar and teacher who has written and taught about everything Syriac, even reorienting the field as The Third Lung of early Christianity (along with Greek and Latin). In 2018, Syriac scholars world-wide gathered in Sigtuna, Sweden, to celebrate with Sebastian his accomplishments and share new directions. Through essays showing what Syriac studies have attained, where they are going, as well as some arenas and connections previously not imagined, flavors of the fruits of laboring in the field are offered.

From Historical Method to Cases
Author:
Roman Judaea, Christian origins, and Roman-Judaean-Christian relations are flourishing fields of endless fascination. Amid the flurry of new research, however, which uses ever new methods in the humanities and social sciences, basic questions about what happened and how people then understood events are easily obscured. This book argues that a simple but consistent historical method can throw new light – and challenge entrenched views – on such familiar topics as Roman provincial governance, the Jewish War, Flavian politics, Judaea after King Herod, Jewish and Christian historiography, Pharisees and Essenes, John the Baptist, the apostle Paul, and Luke-Acts.
