Beschreibung
In this book, the academic colleagues of Prof. Dr. Gie
Vleugels, who turned 65 in 2021, celebrate his life by
contributing chapters in his honor. Several chapters are
innovative in nature, including Clemens Wassermann’s
comparative analysis of 1 John and the Fourth Gospel, which
utilizes insights from Semitic syntax and shows how spoken
Semitic dialects help us to unearth new perspectives on the
relationship between John’s Gospel and 1 John. The chapter
on the Didache by Martin Webber makes innovative use of
Social Identity Complexity Theory. Other contributions come
from the fields of New Testament, Old Testament, Historical
Theology, and Systematic Theology.
