The Baptismal Episode as Trinitarian Narrative
Hallur Mortensen examines the concept of God in Mark's Gospel, with particular emphasis on the baptismal scene of 1:9-11. This he closely relates to the beginning and end of the prologue (1:2-3 and 1:14-15) concerning the coming of the Lord, the gospel, and the kingdom of God. The allusions of the divine voice to Psalm 2 and Isaiah 42 reveal the function and identity of Jesus as the Son of God and thus also of God as the father of Jesus. The identity and descent of the Spirit at the baptism as an anointing is discussed in detail, and has a critical function in the coming of the kingdom and the defeat of Satan. These aspects are examined in the context of Jewish monotheism and what Hans W. Frei calls the "intention-action description" of identity - that 'being' is constituted by 'action' - and Mortensen thus argues that Mark's Gospel portrays a proto- and narrative trinitarian conception of God.

Children of Laughter and the Re-Creation of Humanity
Paul's passionate Letter to the Galatians has occasioned various perspectives (old, new, radical new, apocalyptic, etc.) for explaining Paul's defense of the "truth of the gospel" in it. This book makes an audacious claim that the allegorical passage of 4:21-5:1 is the best vantage point for configuring Paul's theological vision and logic in the letter. Offering a fresh approach for understanding Paul's allegorical practice, it demonstrates how both the Abraham narrative and the book of Isaiah function as a formative matrix for Paul's theology. With an in-depth analysis of these scriptural texts, Paul's two identifications for believers in Christ--belonging to the "Jerusalem above" and being "children of promise" in the pattern of Isaac--receive new clarity and precision. The investigative journey in this book discusses key concepts and texts from Galatians, and addresses questions concerning the shape of Paul's retelling of Israel's story in relation to Jews and Gentiles. The result is a well-grounded interpretation of Paul's conception of the gospel that made him new and continues to bring about new creation in our world.

Im Anfang war die Leere
Nahezu alle Lebensbereiche und Wissenschaften sind mit der Wirklichkeit von Leere und Nichts konfrontiert. Auch biblische Texte, antike Schöpfungsmythen und Lebensphilosophien ringen um die praktische wie denkerische Bewältigung eines sich in unterschiedlichster Gestalt zeigenden horror vacui. In dieser exegetisch-ideengeschichtlichen Studie entfaltet der Autor die kulturübergreifend basale Bedeutung dieses Negativums und zeigt, dass die Priorisierung einer Lichtmetaphysik als Grundlage vieler Seins- und Gotteslehren fehlgeht. Die uralte Einsicht, dass Welt und Mensch einem nicht fassbaren Tiefengrund entstammen, der ihnen bleibend innewohnt, hat nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren.
The Appropriation of Passover in Luke-Acts
Most studies on the theme of Passover in the Gospel of Luke have been confined to the story of the Last Supper (Luke 22:1--20). Dany Christopher, on the contrary, seeks to show where, how, and why Luke uses the theme of Passover throughout his two writings (Luke-Acts).
Sündlos solidarisch
Die Frage, wer Jesus ist, beantwortet das Markusevangelium nicht diskursiv, sondern narrativ: Während es mit den komplementären Bezeichnungen »Gottessohn« und »Menschensohn« auf Jesu wahren Ursprung und auf seinen Auftrag verweist, schildert es sein geschichtliches Auftreten als die verborgene Epiphanie des präexistenten Gottessohns. Indem der Evangelist das irdische Dasein Jesu in die göttliche »Metahistorie« einzeichnet, bezeugt er ein realistisches, nicht-doketisches Verständnis des Menschseins Jesu, das zugleich die ontische Differenz zwischen seinem Menschsein und dem Menschsein derer offenlegt, für die zu sterben er kam. Eine eingehende Untersuchung der markinischen Jesusdarstellung ergibt, dass diese soteriologisch fundamentale Differenz in der These von Jesu Sündlosigkeit gipfelt.
