Top Highlights

“This is the only place in the New Testament where ‘Son of man’ occurs on the lips of someone other than Jesus” (Page 59)

“A baptismal formula of a single sentence is presupposed. Baptism and receiving the Spirit belong together.^{3” (Page 22)}

“Luke allows the disciples to formulate their question on the basis of Jewish assumptions in order to correct them and to refuse absolutely any information about the date of the Parousia. The Spirit makes it possible for the church to exist in the world for an indefinite period of time.” (Page 6)

“Thus, for Benoit, the differences between Galatians and Acts would disappear.” (Page 116)

“Theudas appeared at the time of the procurator Cuspius Fadus (44 c.e.?), thus long after this ‘speech’ of Gamaliel” (Page 42)
