The Earliest Christian Text: 1 Thessalonians

0/5 ( ratings)

Revised and expanded from the German original.

Paul’s letters were written before any other Christian texts, even the gospels. And the earliest text of all is 1 Thessalonians. This new English translation is both intelligible and true to the meaning of the original Greek text. In the accompanying commentary, Lüdemann engages critically with the theology of the early Paul, including Paul’s virulent attacks on circumcision and other Jewish practices. Readers desiring a more in-depth study will find detailed appendices on Pauline chronology and later letters.

“In a lucid analysis which pays careful attention to nuances of the text, Professor Lüdemann situates Paul’s earliest letter in the very first phase of emerging Christianity. This is historical scholarship at its best. The book deserves to be studied by scholars and laypeople alike.”
—Heikki Räisänen, Professor emeritus, Academy of Finland
