| Summary: | Der vorliegende Band enthält fünfzehn Aufsätze von Kollegen und Freunden des verstorbenen Professors Hans Kvalbein, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Thematik der Kirche und ihrer Mission im Neuen Testament und dem frühen Christentum befassen und einen Überblick über die wissenschaftliche Laufbahn und Forschung sowie eine Bibliographie seiner Bücher und Artikel liefern. Unter den Beiträgen sind zahlreiche, die Mission in der Apostelgeschichte behandeln, während andere sich auf verschiedene Texte und Themen in den Evangelien, in den Paulusbriefen, 1 Petrusbrief und der Offenbarung konzentrieren. Einige der Beiträger setzen sich mit Kvalbeins Sicht auf die Aspekte der Mission der frühen Kirche, wie dem Verständnis der Mission bei Matthäus und der Verkündigung des Königreichs Gottes, auseinander.InhaltsübersichtDavid E.
