The new series will promote the publication of primary sources, reference tools, and critical studies that advance the understanding of the New Testament and other early Christian writings and writers into the fourth century. Emphases of the two predecessor series have been retained, including the textual history and transmission of the New Testament and related literature, relevant manuscripts in various languages, and methodologies for research in early Christianity. The series will also publish a broader range of studies pertinent to early Christianity and its writings.
The series published an average of 2,5 volumes per year over the last 5 years.
Auch in ihrem dritten Band des Frankfurter Neuen Testaments bleiben Stefan Alkier und Thomas Paulsen ihrer Übersetzungsmethodik treu, welche die neutestamentlichen Texte wörtlich aus dem Koine-Griechisch übersetzt. Das hat erhebliche Folgen für den Wortlaut und das Verständnis dieser Texte – so ist z.B. nicht von „Sünde“ oder „Teufel“, sondern von „Verfehlung“ und vom „Zerwerfer“ die Rede.
„Kaum einen Text glauben heutige Leserinnen und Leser so gut zu kennen wie das Johannesevangelium. Die neue Übersetzung von Stefan Alkier und Thomas Paulsen zeigt, wie falsch wir mit dieser Einschätzung liegen. Philologisch genau, erfrischend sperrig und fern von eingefahrenen Pfaden zeigt sie, wie aufregend und ungewöhnlich dieser Text wirklich ist; damit lädt sie uns dazu ein, ihn in seinem Anspruch ernst zu nehmen und uns auf seine Herausforderung einzulassen.“ Dr. Thomas Schmitz (Professor für Gräzistik an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn)

Abstract
We argue that a better understanding of the nature of action descriptions can provide a more appropriate framework for relating metaphors and models of atonement than other frameworks that are on offer today. We begin by describing a problem that arises with the framework employed by what we call pluralist and hierarchalist approaches, namely, that the approaches operate with an understanding of metaphors best suited for inanimate objects. On the other hand, action theory—a philosophical subject that has for the most part been ignored by theologians—and more specifically, action descriptions, are better suited to describe the actions of agents. By shifting our attention to action descriptions, we will be able to retain both what pluralists are after—a notion of the multiple perspectives on atonement—and what hierarchalists are after—a nuanced and differentiated way to account for their metaphors and models of atonement.

Craig A. Carter,
Interest in classical theism appears to be at an all-time high in conservative Protestant circles these days. This is quite remarkable, given that during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries doctrines such as divine simplicity, eternity, and immutability came under frequent attack and were often seen as obscure and antiquated even by ostensibly confessional theologians. The impetus behind this self-conscious return to traditional thinking about God appears to be
Mark R. Stevenson,
In this very useful survey and analysis, Dr. Mark Stevenson brings clarity with charity to a theological subject, which has too often been the occasion for the polemical outpouring of oceans of ink. Although his principal focus is on the soteriology of the early Brethren, the author very sensibly places their thinking in a wider context, devoting a fifth of his book to an introductory
Richard A. Muller,
How can God be sovereign in the salvation of sinners without violating their free will? Can sinners even properly be said to have a free will? Why does sin persist in the Christian life after regeneration? These are difficult and perennial theological questions, questions for which Richard Muller offers the answers given by William Perkins and his contemporaries. In so doing, he situates Perkins’s thought in
Curt Daniel,
Curt Daniel wrote a doctoral dissertation at Edinburgh University on John Gill and hyper-Calvinism, with which scholars of Calvinism ought to be familiar. Less well-known is his unpublished syllabus of lectures on Calvinism, its history and theology. At long last, Daniel has finally published the latter, a fruit of his many years of academic and pastoral labor, titled
