DAVID E. AUNE
Jesus, Gospel Tradition and Paul in the
Context of Jewish and Greco-Roman
Antiquity
Collected Essays II
[ Jesus, Evangelientradition und Paulus im Kontext der jüdischen und griechisch-römischen
Antike. Gesammelte Aufsätze II.]
Published in English.
This volume contains a collection of twenty-two of David E. Aune's essays focusing on a variety
of issues in the interpretation of the Gospels, Gospel traditions, Paul and the Pauline letters.
Most essays center on the exegesis of particular problematic passages in the Gospels, Acts and
the Pauline letters. In some essays the author discusses Pauline anthropology, in others he
investigates the phenomenon of oral tradition in the ancient world and the Gospels or deals
with the problem of the genre of the Gospels (Mark and Matthew) and Romans. He critically
reviews recent research on justi cation by faith in Paul and investigates the meaning of
euaggelion in the titles of the Gospels. He also deals with such historical and contextual
problems as the proposed relationship between Jesus and Cynicism in rst century Palestine,
evaluating Jesus tradition in the Gospel of Thomas and dualism in the Fourth Gospel. The
relevance of cognitive dissonance in the reconstruction of Christian origins and the relevance of
apocalyptic in the interpretation of the Lord's Prayer are also discussed.
