Books to Buy in Denver

19. November 2018 | Christoph Heilig | Keine Kommentare |

Greetings to those who are currently at the annual SBL meeting in Denver!
Since Theresa and I are not there ourselves, I thought I should at least write a blogpost and point you to some of the books by members of our peer mentoring group (and by Prof. Frey) from 2017 and 2018 that you should have in your case when leaving …

Let me begin with some unashamed self-promotion: I have written on my books Hidden Criticism? and Paul’s Triumph on this blog before. This combined work on the Roman Empire as context of the letters of Paul has recently won the Mercator Award in Social Sciences and the Humanities. If this is a reason for you to take a look, you should visit the booth of Mohr Siebeck and/or Fortress for the first and the one of Peeters for the second volume. When you pick up your copy of Hidden Criticism? from Fortress, make sure you also get a copy of God and the Faithfulness of Paul that I co-edited. It’s really cheap and a must-have if you are interested at all in Pauline studies. Don’t take it from my – buy the book and see for yourself!

My name is also, though in smaller print of course, on The Glory of the Crucified One: Theology and Christology in the Fourth Gospel from Baylor. It’s a collection of groundbreaking essays on Gospel of John by Prof. Frey, translated by Wayne Coppins with my assistance. (There is a whole session on this publication today!) If you don’t do things by halves, make sure you also get the now completed commentary on Luke by Michael Wolter in the same series (edited by Coppins and Gathercole) and also the just released Yale Shaffer lectures by Frey and a translation of his commentary on 2 Peter/Jude.

If you want to read some recent dissertations by junior scholars who are associated with our group, you should arrange enough time at the Mohr Siebeck booth. The most recent publication is the Tübingen dissertation by Jan Rüggemeier on the Poetik der markinischen Christologie, which has won the Armin Schmitt award. Also, you should of course check out the Jordash Kiffiak’s big book on the Responses in the Miracle Stories of the Gospels, which has been introduced to readers of this blog in a two-part series (see here and here) by the author and which has already received an enthusiastic reception by senior experts in the field. The same holds true for Monika Götte’s work on conceptions of the origin of evil. For Friederike Kunath’s thesis on the preexistence of Jesus in the Gospel of John, you have to make a little detour to the de Gruyter booth, but it is certainly worth it as you can see from this succinct summary by the author.


Christoph Heilig is the author of Hidden Criticism? (Fortress, 2017) and Paul’s Triumph (Peeters, 2017). This research has recently received the Mercator Award in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Additionally, he has co-edited (with J. Thomas Hewitt and Michael F. Bird) God and the Faithfulness of Paul: A Critical Examination of the Pauline Theology of N. T. Wright (Fortress, 2017). In his most recent project, which has just been completed, he discusses the importance of “stories” and “narrative substructures” for understanding Paul’s letters.
