Studies in Early Christianity

This collection of essays reflects the focal points of Francois Bovon's interest during the last years: the New Testament, the ancient church, and Christian apocryphal literature. Eight articles deal with Luke and Acts, and their subject matter ranges from a report on the state of the question to a detailed analysis of Luke's use of Scripture and the formal aspects of quotation. Other essays focus on the early Christian apocrypha and the ancient church; five essays deal with theological topics at the crossroads between the New Testament and the apocrypha. The essays are written in German and English, or have been translated into English, for this collection.
