Descriere

Do we really know who wrote the New Testament documents? Do we really know when they were written? Scholars have long debated these fundamental questions. This volume identifies and investigates literary traditions and their implications for the authorship and dating of the Gospels and the letters of the New Testament. Departing from past scholarship, E. Earle Ellis argues that the Gospels and the letters are products of the corporate authorship of four allied apostolic missions and not just the creation of individual authors. The analysis of literary traditions also has implications for the dating of New Testament documents. Providing a critique of the current critical orthodoxy with respect to the dating of New Testament documents, Ellis weighs the patristic traditions more heavily and more critically than has been done in the past. Ellis’s new reconstruction of the origin of the New Testament documents provides better answers than have been previously proposed to a number of critical questions. Ellis provides a comprehensive historical reconstruction of the process by which the gospel message became the Gospel books. His arguments, if persuasive, will require a reassessment of the history of early Christianity.

Recenzii

'This book deserves to be read by any who are interested in the study of the origins of the NT and who posses the intellectual integrity to interact with arguments that may force them to abandon long-cherished views on the literary history of its documents.'
Eckhard Schnabel, Bulletin for Biblical Research, 2002.
'The book is a monumental achievement, built on a lifetime of research and thought.'
C.F.D. Moule, The Journal of Theological Studies, 2001.
'This is a detailed and methodical study displaying a masterly level of scholarship.'
Edward Adams, The Expository Times, 2000.
'This is a remarkable book that has tremendous implications for biblical scholarship…'
Cory J. Hailey, SBC Life, 2000.
Ellis’s arguments are strong, provocative and worthy of further exploration. His paragdim may revolutionize critical New Testament studies.
J.M. Givens, Review and Expositor, 2001.
'A provocative and substantive tour de force revealing the extent to which the basis of currently dominant views is at least as much a matter of consensus as evidence.'
Michael W. Holmes Religious Studies Review 2000.
'It is one of the most enthralling and persuasive works I have read.'
David Miano. lecturer University of California - San Diego 2000
