About this title

About the Author:

Wilhelm Schneemelcher was a Professor at Bonn University in Germany from 1954 until his retirement in 1979.

Review:

"The improvements over the previous editions are evident. The general introduction to the volume has been thoroughly revised. Here and in the revised introductions to the individual writings and updated bibliographies, the reader will find lucid accounts of the results and questions of the intensive and exciting scholarly debate of the last two decades. Moreover, the volume has been reliably and brilliantly translated by Professor R. McL. Wilson, the most eminent and distinguished scholar in the research on apocryphal and gnostic materials." -Professor Helmut Koester, Harvard University
