A Theological Introduction to the New Testament

A book which must rank among the significant examinations of the subject not only for New Testament studies, but in the current ecumenical debate.The author's method, after a very unusual and discriminating discussion of the authority of scripture for the ordering of the church is, to begin with, analytical. He considers Jesus' conception of the church, which he finds obscure enough, but at least it was an open fellowship, repudiating hierarchy, and following Jesus in self-renunciation for the world, then that of the primitive community (including such disparate representatives as the early Jerusalem church, that of Matthew and the Pastorals), then the Pauline, Johannine and sub-apostolic conceptions of the church. In the second part of the book he synthesizes his findings, and faces up to such problems as apostolic succession, charismatic and non-charismatic ministry, church service, and office ...

A classic study of Christian Iife in changing cultures, between the New Testament and the present day, first published in English in 1960 and long unavailable. `It is impossible to distil a pure creed. Every generation must proclaim the gospel in its own terms. It is foolish to withhold belief from the creeds of another generation simply because we cannot use their language today. But it is just as foolish to assent to all the creeds together, as if orthodoxy were like some cafeteria where you are obliged to eat something of everything... The New Testament contributors were courageous enough to be one-sided. They made their choice, and preached the message in terms their hearers could grasp, opposing clearly the special dangers of their time and place. Must our younger generation (or to take a quite different example, the Japanese people) first be converted to a Hebrew or Greek way of thinking in order to be able to receive the gospel? Or may we, without denying the old creeds, proclaim the same truth in the West, perhaps in terms of the meaning of God's acts for our existence, and in Japan, perhaps in quite different terms?'

Lordship and Discipleship

'This book shows in a very personal way how a former student of Rudolf Bultmann has made his own pilgrimage to a more satisfactory position in which, while not casting aside what he has learned positively from his teacher about the need to interpret the New Testament existentially, he stresses the importance of the historical Jesus for faith and also the importance of his death and resurrection for understanding his person. This is a fresh and readable work full of ripe scholarly insight' (Howard Marshall, University of Aberdeen). 'For more than forty years Eduard Schweizer has provided a sequence of important and deservedly influential contributions to New Testament studies, not least on the subject of christology. As we might expect, these lectures display a mastery of the material, both original and secondary, and a sureness of touch in a sequence of valuable cameos on texts and themes of importance. Of particular importance is the final autobiographical chapter in which he reviews his career, including, of course, some of the most tumultuous years Europe has ever known, and pays moving tribute to his teacher Bultmann. The whole is suffused by the warmth of Professor Schweizer's own personality and faith' (James D. G. Dunn, University of Durham).
