Theology of the New Testament, Volume 1: the Ministry of Jesus in Its Theological Significance

Attempting to reclaim a biblical theology that comprehends both the Old and New Testaments, Goppelt here makes a thoroughgoing application of the most reliable tools and insights of New Testament scholarship, while at the same time manifesting his view of his work as a dialogue between exegetical and systematic theology. Detailed bibliographies are included for each chapter. / In this study of the life and ministry of Jesus, Goppelt makes a critical examination of the sources for our knowledge of the historical Jesus, also exchanging views with other interpreters such as Barth, Bultmann, Conzelmann, and Jermias.
