- The origin of the designation χριστιανός is ambiguous. In this article, the use of this term is studied with special emphasis on how it reflects the selfunderstanding of the early Christians in the respective texts. In the late first and early second centuries, the term appears to have been something of a title of honour and an ideal which Christ-believers wished to attain. Toward the end of the second century, χριστιανός was somewhat diluted into referring to Christians as a group in general.

Paul and the Jesus Tradition : Reconsidering the Relationship Between Paul and the Synoptics

- The relationship between Paul and the Jesus tradition is a central issue in New Testament scholarship. Although it is customary to look for Gospel traditions in the Pauline epistles, an opposite approach would better fit the chronology of the sources. It is more probable that the evangelists were influenced by Paul than the other way around. For this reason, a re-evaluation of the development of the Jesus tradition from Jesus, via Paul, and to the Gospels, is necessary. This essay examines the possibility of viewing Paul as a source of the Gospels.

Presbyters and the development of church offices
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of Early Christian History. - : Unisa Press. - 2222-582X .- 2471-4054. ; 13:2, s. 22-36

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article questions two central presuppositions of recent research on early Christian ecclesial office. It argues that bishops and presbyters should not be too readily equated and that ecclesial office was not as closely connected to the providers of liturgical space (owners of house churches) as is often assumed.

The Delay of the Parousia and the Changed Function of Eschatological Language
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Early Christian History. - : Routledge. - 2222-582X .- 2471-4054. ; 10:1, s. 61-80
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although the New Testament texts show an awareness of the problems involved with the delay of the parousia, they still defend the legitimacy of the belief in its imminence. A similar pattern can also be found in other early Christian texts. The strategies for coping with and explaining the delay of the parousia change over time, and ultimately the understanding of “imminence” itself is developed. Although belief in the parousia appears to have been fundamental to early Christianity, the significance of this event is transformed from a hope of deliverance to a reason for moral exhortation.
