Martin Hengel is Emeritus Professor of New Testament and Ancient Judaism, University of Tubingen, Germany.
"Although some of Hengel s conclusions will be controversial, any
reader, from the student beginning serious study of the NT to the
most seasoned scholar, can learn from this erudite and well-argued
book "--Sanford Lakoff "Catholic Biblical Quarterly "
"Hengel's latest volume applies his proditious scholarship to three
related issues: the origin of the collection of four Gospels, the
significance of the term "gospel" in early Christianity, and the
central role of the Gospel of Mark...Those challenges make the book
significant in the ongoing debate about the Gospels and the
historical Jesus." Jon A. Weatherly, Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall
2001--Sanford Lakoff
"Libraries that have other books by this prolific and erudite
author will want to add this latest." L. Gaston, Emeritus,
Vancouver School of Theology, reviewing for Choice, March
2001--Sanford Lakoff "CHOICE "
"Most of the data on the canonical development of the gospels are
well known, but Hengel offers an interesting refresher course as he
examines and rearranges well-known pieces in this reappraisal of
ancient lore Readers of Hengel's work should not fail to mine the
807 notes appended to the main text. They will be well rewarded for
their diligence. Three helpful indexes conclude this informative
book, which is certain to ensure lively discussion, and not least
of all for Hengel's conscientious inquiry into the meaning of
"Gospel."- Frederick W. Danker, Currents in Theology and Mission,
Feb. 2002--Sanford Lakoff "Currents In Theology and Mission "
"Though never detached from laboriously reconstructed, historical
argument, Hengel s work delivers a theological payoff. In
particular, his too-brief musings on the gospel narrative s
dialectical relationship with the Torah s story of salvation renew
this reader s hope in the possibility of biblical theology."
C.--Sanford Lakoff "Theology Today "
A very bold and provocative account of the origins of the four
Gospels his erudite and fascinating argumentation deserves serious
consideration. This stimulating tome wukk force many to rethink
their positions regarding Gospel origins. John Paul Heil,
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, Theological Studies, Sept. 2001.--John
Paul Heil, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, "Theological Studies "
