From Jesus to the New Testament
As the inaugural volume in the Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, Jens Schröter's celebrated From Jesus to the New Testament is now available for the first time in English. Schröter provides a rich narrative of the theological forces that created the New Testament canon. Through his textual, historical, and hermeneutical examination, Schröter reveals how various writings that form the New Testament's building blocks are all held together. Jesus not only inspired the New Testament but also launched a theological project that resulted in the canon. Schröter's study will undoubtedly spark new discussion about the formation of the canon and the character of earliest Christianity.

How can the New Testament writings be within Judaism? Distinguishing ways of asking and answering the question
This article critically evaluates the meanings of “within Judaism” and related phrases when applied to the texts now collected in the New Testament. It uses social-scientific approaches to social categories and group boundaries to develop a theoretically informed approach for considering how the literature of the earliest Christ followers may or may not be considered Jewish texts, and how such claims can be evaluated. Examples from New Testament and Early Jewish texts illustrate the theoretical discussion throughout.

Christian Apocrypha and the Exegesis of the New Testament
The present article discusses why the study of Christian Apocrypha and Parabiblical Traditions is crucial not only for the understanding of early Christian History but also for the theological field of New Testament Exegesis. It starts with the author’s definition of Christian Apocrypha and Parabiblica and offers examples for the heuristic value of such an understanding. It discusses the impact of apocryphal writings and parabiblical traditions for the reception history of the New Testament and for the understanding of the history, understanding and development of genres of ancient Christian writings like apocalypses and Gospels. After this it develops and discusses three major theses about the impact of Christian Apocrypha for the understanding of the New Testament canon, its fundamental openness and history even after its formal closure. Finally, it offers opportunities of inter-theological interdisciplinary dialogue.
