Ritual Memory brings together two areas of study which have hitherto rarely been studied in comparison: liturgy and the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles. The book gives an analysis of the liturgical celebration of the apostles in the medieval West and examines the incorporation of the apocrypha in practices of ritual commemoration. It reveals the role that liturgy played in the transmission of the apocryphal Acts and visualises the way these narrative traditions developed and changed through their incorporation into a ritual context. The result is a dynamic picture of the ritual reception of the extra-canonical Acts in the Latin Middle Ages, where the apocryphal legends about the apostolic past were approached as memorable traditions on the origins of Christianity.

As the first historian of Christianity, Luke's reliability is vigorously disputed among scholars. The author of the Acts is often accused of being a biased, imprecise, and anti-Jewish historian who created a distorted portrait of Paul. Daniel Marguerat tries to avoid being caught in this true/false quagmire when examining Luke's interpretation of history. Instead he combines different tools - reflection upon historiography, the rules of ancient historians and narrative criticism - to analyse the Acts and gauge the historiographical aims of their author. Marguerat examines the construction of the narrative, the framing of the plot and the characterization, and places his evaluation firmly in the framework of ancient historiography, where history reflects tradition and not documentation. This is a fresh and original approach to the classic themes of Lucan theology: Christianity between Jerusalem and Rome, the image of God, the work of the Spirit, the unity of Luke and the Acts.

Ausgangspunkt dieses in zweiter Auflage durchgesehenen und ergänzten Bandes ist ein Exkurs im Bellum Iudaicum des hier dem Ambrosius zugeschriebenen sog. Hegesippus über den Wettstreit des Petrus mit Simon Magus in Rom und die sich daran anschließende Christenverfolgung Neros, in der die Apostel Petrus und Paulus das Martyrium erleiden. Die Frage nach den Quellen dieser Episode und deren Historizität führt zu einer Überprüfung der "Schlüsselbeweise" für einen Aufenthalt des Petrus in Rom und der sonstigen literarischen Zeugnisse vom Neuen Testament bis in die Spätantike. Im Vordergrund stehen die apokryphen Apostelakten, der 1. Clemensbrief, Iustinus Martyr, Dionysios von Korinth, Polykarp von Smyrna und die Antihäretiker Hegesippus und Irenäus von Lyon. Die vermeintlich echten Briefe des Ignatius von Antiochien werden in den Rahmen christlicher und heidnischer Pseudepigrapha der Zweiten Sophistik eingeordnet, ihre Entstehungszeit auf das Jahrzehnt 170-180 festgelegt. Ein breites Kapitel ist philologischen Untersuchungen zur Datierung des 1. Clemensbriefes und der Spätschriften des Neuen Testamentes gewidmet. Am Ende steht eine kritische Edition (mit Übersetzung) der Martyrien des Petrus und des Paulus unter Berücksichtigung einer hier erstmalig eingeführten griechischen Handschrift, die ein bisher nicht bekanntes Selbstporträt des Paulus enthält.

Erasmus yearned to make the Bible an effective instrument in the reform of society, church, and everyday life. He therefore composed Paraphrases in which the words of Holy Scripture provided the core of a text, vastly expanded to embrace the reforming `philosophy of Christ.' The Paraphrases were successful beyond all expectations, and were quickly translated into French, English, and other languages. The Paraphrase on Acts is the fifth volume of Paraphrases to be published in the New Testament Scholarship series in the Collected Works of Erasmus.The highly dramatic narrative of Acts offered Erasmus as paraphrast a treasury of golden opportunities. Its personae are kings, governors, high priests, communities of grace, and the ubiquitous and volatile mob. Here are the models to be emulated and to be avoided in both a reformed Europe and a reformed church. In the Paraphrase on Acts the splendour of popes is measured against the simplicity of St Peter, the pride of European kings warned against by the downfall of Herod .The Paraphrase on Acts commands attention also by its manifest efforts to rationalize biblical history. Erasmus persistently shows that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is nevertheless complemented by very human motivations. Moreover, the impressionistic framework of time and space in the biblical account is replaced in the Paraphrase on Acts by a careful definition of events by date and location - offering fascinating insights into the science of geography in Erasmus' day.The reader will recognize many of Erasmus' favourite theological themes, for example the sharp antithesis between faith and ceremonial works. But it is perhaps Erasmus' portrait of the Holy Spirit that will leave the deepest impression - a portrait in which images of fire turn imperceptibly but decisively into ontological realities and moral imperatives.
