In a comprehensive and detailed survey on its remarkably widespread employment in the Roman empire, Dr. Hengel examines the way in which “the most vile death of the cross” was regarded in the Greek-speaking world and particularly in Roman-occupied Palestine.

This work explores the world of New Testament scholarship, seeking to find a reasonable place between conflicting scholarly debates. This is a valuable text for anyone who wants an introduction to New Testament scholarship or those who are seeking answers to difficult questions raised by critical scholars. Hengel acknowledges the difficulty of reconstructing the apostolic world and makes a case for the New Testament as a testimony of the fulfillment of Old Testament promises.

Christology, the doctrine concerning the revelation of God in Christ and the salvation of humanity through Christ, is at the heart of Christian theology and at the heart of the church’s proclamation. These studies, including hitherto unpublished work, explore the origins of Christology. They explore, for example, the earliest Christological thinking, the messianic claim of Jesus, the reasons for the condemnation of Jesus, the exaltation of Christ, the development of hymn singing, the development of Christological titles, and neglected features of Johannine Christology. In these mysterious beginnings, Martin Hengel discovers a coherent and unique process. In a substantial foreword, Professor Hengel describes the context of his work in modern scholarship and develops his current thinking.

Martin Hengel gathers an encyclopedic amount of material, ancient and modern, to present an exhaustive survey of the early course of Hellenistic civilization as it related to developing Judaism. The result is a highly readable account of a largely unfamiliar world which is indispensable for those interested in Judaism and the birth of Christianity alike. An extensive section of notes and bibliography is included.

The 16-volume Theology and Doctrine Collection draws together sixteen diverse titles on a variety of theological and doctrinal issues.

Special attention is given to the theology of five important theologians: Wolfhart Pannenberg, Austin Farrer, Dumitru Staniloae, Karl Barth and Thomas Aquinas. Ample space is also given to the psychology and theology of forgiveness, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, the problem of suffering, the origins of Christology, and creation ex nihilo.

The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, was the 'Bible' of the early Christian Church. This is a comprehensive introduction to the issues surrounding the translation and development of the Septuagint. Professor Hengel first traces the history of the Septuagint. He explores the controversial discussion between Jews and Christians regarding its reliability, examining particularly the views of the church fathers relating to its authority, its inspiration, and its canon.

In this volume, Martin Hengel argues for the traditional view of the origin of the Gospel of Mark—that Mark wrote in Rome in AD 69, basing his work on the tradition handed down to him by Peter. Including an appendix on the reliability of the synoptic tradition by distinguished classical philologist Wolfgang Schadewalt, Studies in the Gospel of Mark is a direct challenge to the radical views of modern New Testament scholarship.

Christology developed more in the period from the crucifixion of Jesus to the writing of Paul’s letter to the Philippians than in the following seven centuries combined.

Together they form an important introduction to a crucial period in the development of Christian belief.

This short but highly significant study is the sequel to Martin Hengel’s classic work Judaism and Hellenism. Hengel argues that in the New Testament period, Hellenization in Palestine was so widespread that the distinction between Hellenistic Judaism and Palestinian Judaism is not just invalid—the very idea of “Hellenism” is so vague as to be meaningless. Presenting a wealth of evidence available here for the first time, Hengel explores the implications of his argument for New Testament study.
