Produktbeschreibung
Now available for the first time in English, Karl Ludwig Schmidt's The Framework of the Story of Jesus (Der Rahmen der Geschichte Jesu) has been a foundation of New Testament studies. Through meticulous analysis, Schmidt demonstrates that the Synoptic Gospels are collections of individual stories that circulated orally and independently in the earliest Christian communities. In their oral forms, most of these traditions existed apart from any sequence or specific temporal or geographic location. The chronology and locations now evident in the Gospels, Schmidt argues, are frameworks that the evangelists applied to the stories while collecting and recording the oral traditions. Across much of the twentieth century and even into the present day, this argument has undergirded Gospel interpretation. But given that The Framework of the Story of Jesus remained untranslated, Schmidt's ideas have been sometimes ignored and often misunderstood. Synoptic Gospels discussion and study will surely be enriched by engagement with the evidence and argument of this classic.
Autorenporträt
Karl Ludig Schmidt (1891-1956) was one of the most distinguished twentieth-century scholars to undertake the literary criticism of the gospels. His landmark study Der Rahmen der Geschichte Jesu: Literatarkritische Untersuchungen zur altesten Jesusuberlieferung (1918) and the essay translated here have long been recommended reading not only for students in biblical studies but also for divinity schools. Byron R. McCane is an associate professor of religion and chair of the Department of Religion at Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. His interest in the gospels includes archaeology of Galilee, and he is director of the Field School of the Sepphoris Acropolis Excavations. McCane lives in Spartanburg. John Riches is professor of divinity and biblical criticism at the University of Glasgow. He was one of the translators of the Rudolf Bultmann's Gospel of John: A Commentary and is the author of A Century of New Testament Study. His most recent book is Conflicting Mythologies: Identity Formation in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew.
