From the rear cover
This important work by Ernst Ksemann, one of the most significant New Testament scholars of the modern period, explores the significance of Christian apocalyptic for the church in times of conflict and crisis. It is now available in English for the first time.
"This fine collection of Ksemann's essays shows him at his provocative best, demonstrating with exegetical and theological vigor that there is no field of debate--including ecclesiology, ecumenism, politics, and the Christian life--in which any authority, tradition, bureaucracy, or dogmatics 'may limit the freedom of those who still seek to radically follow the Nazarene' in a world beset by oppression and obfuscation. Siggelkow and Harrisville are to be thanked for exposing an English-language readership afresh to the voice of this fierce disciple of Christ."
--Philip G. Ziegler, professor of Christian dogmatics, University of Aberdeen; author of Militant Grace: The Apocalyptic Turn and the Future of Christian Theology
"Whether addressing World Council of Churches consultations, scholarly congresses, or church conferences, Ernst Ksemann maintained his penetrating focus on the central and always destabilizing lordship of Christ. This collection, previously unavailable in English, reflects its own time period while instructing ours. An important addition to our libraries."
--Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Helen H. P. Manson Professor Emerita of New Testament Exegesis, Princeton Theological Seminary
"I learned a lot from Ernst Ksemann, and I am very grateful to him."
--Jon Sobrino, SJ, author of Jesus the Liberator and Christ the Liberator
"This probing and convicting collection of Bible studies, essays, sermons, and lectures, all touching on church conflicts, could not be more timely for the church--and for the world."
--James F. Kay, Princeton Theological Seminary
"Among all the German theologians, or Europeans for that matter, whom I came to know when I began writing, Ksemann was the only one who understood me. He was a man of my own mind and heart and wrote concretely about what I was trying to express in my own situation."
