In this third and last volume fifty-five more exegetical notes are brought together in nine sections (Matthew, Mark,...). My attempt remains to analyse as carefully as possible what the New Testament author meant and what the original readers must have understood. And what do these texts mean for us today? For the Synoptics diachronic redaction criticism is applied, as well as synchronic, narrative analysis. In Paul's reasoning often gaps have to be filled; sometimes his logic is complex. A canonical list of my collected essays since 1994 is added.

In this book ninety recent exegetical notes are brought together in seven parts: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, and other New Testament writings, canonically ordered. These articles are mostly brief notes. In them I usually react to a recent publication. I avoid an expanded discussion with the existing literature. My aim is to investigate the logic of a biblical passage. I am in search of meaning and try to follow, as closely as possible, the reasoning of the original author. In order to better focus on the text itself I often cite the particular Greek text and its translation.

In this second volume, fifty-two more exegetical notes are assembled in three sections: Synoptic Gospels, Pauline Letters, and Ephesians. The notes on Ephesians cover the whole letter: structural analysis and thematic reflection. The aim of the other essays is to investigate the logic of a New Testament passage, mostly in reaction to a recent publication. Can we come closer to the sense intended by the biblical author? And what does this mean to us today?

Why did the early followers of Jesus call themselves "Christians"? What was their social and religious capital? Why did Christianity attract both poor widows and wealthy women? What did pagans think of early Christians? Integrating the major apocryphal Acts of the Apostles in the study of Christianity and the ancient world, Jan N. Bremmer illustrates their prominence of women and their, sometimes surprisng, usage of magic as well as establishing a new chronology and place of composition for these Acts. He also shows that the early Christian tours of hell derive from Jewish and Greek models, although they become increasingly Christianised. The author concludes by decoding the intriguing visions in the 'Passion of Perpetua' by placing them in the contemporary world, thereby compelling us to sympathize with the hopes and fears of young Christian martyrs. It is the close attention to both pagan and Christian traditions that make these papers, which have all been updated and some of them revised, an exciting read for scholars and advanced students alike.
