“Incidentally, asceticism with regard to food is also a characteristic of the Colossian syncretism (of a Judaizing Gnosticism !).” (Page 65)
“Since the genealogies are mentioned together with ‘myths,’ they cannot, in this passage, refer to the Jewish proof for kinship of Abraham, nor to the demonstration of Israel’s historical continuity. Neither Paul nor a pseudo-Paul could mention such things in the same breath with ‘fables.’” (Page 17)
“a) The testimony of the early Church: it is not very strong.” (Page 1)
“On the other hand, according to the funerary inscriptions, special esteem is accorded the person who was married only once (especially in contrast to a multiplicity of marriages as the result of separation).19 Thus some scholars find here the prohibition of remarriage for persons who are separated.20 In either case we are not dealing with a special instruction for bishops.” (Page 52)
“Rather, we must think of early Jewish or Judaizing forms of Gnosticism, which are reflected elsewhere within the horizon of deutero-Pauline literature.” (Page 17)

Hans Conzelmann (1915–1989) dedicated himself to New Testament studies at the universities of Tübingen, Heidelberg, and Göttingen in Germany. His The Theology of St. Luke introduced a new epoch in the interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels, followed by landmark studies on Jesus and Paul. Among his many influential works are his three Hermeneia commentaries: 1 Corinthians, The Acts of the Apostles, and, with Martin Dibelius, The Pastoral Epistles.
Martin Dibelius (1883–1947) was professor of New Testament at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and one of the most important biblical scholars of the twentieth century. Among his many publications in English are From Tradition to Gospel, The Sermon on the Mount, Paul, and The Pastoral Epistles.
