Overview

The late Paul J. Achtemeier was an authority on the New Testament, serving as president of the Society of Biblical Literature and the first Protestant president of the Catholic Biblical Association of America.

This collection selects two works representative of a legacy of excellence in biblical studies. In Jesus and the Miracle Tradition, Achtemeier deftly uses literary-critical analysis to show the theological intent of the evangelists’ selection of miracle stories. Then, in Paul and the Jerusalem Church, Achtemeier examines the divisions that plagued the church in the New Testament and contends for a scrupulous examination of the problems that have beset the Christian community from its beginning, so that the church might move forward into the unity it is called to.
