The Testament of Jesus
From the Foreword by Paul N. Anderson: “Among the most provocative New Testament scholars of the tweitieth century, Ernst Käsemann tops the list, and his most striking work is The Testament of Jesus. This brief book is significant not because the bulk of Johannine scholars have fully agreed with it; indeed, most have taken exception to many of its points. The impact of Käsemann’s 1966 Shaffer Lectures, delivered at Yale Divinity School and rendered in book form in German and English over the next couple of years, lay in his capacity to communicate worthy insights in sharp and provocative ways, blocking some paths of discussion while opening others…. The Testament of Jesus cannot simply be read. It can only be engaged—refuted and embraced—and dialectically so.”
Commentary on Romans
Emphasizing theological rather than historical questions, Kasemann divides Romans into sections according to what he sees as the key theological concept of the letter--the righteousness of God. Detailed bibliographies are provided for each section of the text.
Church Conflicts
This important work by one of the most significant New Testament scholars of the modern period, now available in English for the first time, explores the significance of Christian apocalyptic for the church in times of conflict and crisis. Engaging with global social and political realities that are still very much with us, Ernst Käsemann offers a theological indictment of global white supremacy, capitalism, and militarism and passionately articulates an apocalyptic theology of liberation. The book includes a foreword by James H. Cone and an introduction by Ry O. Siggelkow.
Essays on New Testament Themes
Ernst Kasemann, D.Theol. (Marburg), was born in 1906. After his university studies in Bonn, Marburg and Tubingen, he was for some time involved in pastoral work and was a prominent figure in the Confessing Church. In 1946 he was appointed Professor of New Testament in Mainz, and was called to a chair at Gottingen in 1951. After 1959 he was Professor of New Testament in Tubingen. Among books by Dr Kasemann translated into English are: The Testament of Jesus A study of the Gospel of John in the light of chapter 17 (1968); Jesus Means Freedom A polemical survey of the New Testament (1969); New Testament Questions of Today (1969); and Perspectives on Paul (1971).
The Lordship of Christ
In this study, Way traces Käsemann's views from his doctoral dissertation to his magnum opus, the Commentary on Romans. From its context in German Protestant theology, Käsemann's Pauline interpretation is systematically analysed and emphasis is given to the major theological themes which identify the continuing significance of his interpretation to biblical scholars and the church. Certain unpublished lectures and letters are referred to in tracing Käsemann's views, and the influence of this most provocative of Rudolf Bultmann's students on contemporary New Testament scholarship is assessed.
The Historical Jesus Quest
Virtually all the current debates about the historical Jesus have their roots in questions that have been pursued by biblical historians over the past two centuries. This anthology brings together seminal essays by those scholars who have been most influential in the rise and development of Jesus studies, enabling the reader to compare their differing points of view.
The Johannine World
Argues that the Fourth Gospel has "political dimensions" which offer both meaning and challenge to contemporary Christians.
The Historical Jesus Question
A natural sequel to "The Historical Jesus Quest", this book provides commentary on the work and significance of the classic writers presented in that volume: Spinoza, Strauss, Sweitzer, Troeltsch, Bultmann, Kasemann, and others.
