They represent studies in the New Testament made by the late Theo Preiss, and constitute a unity in so far as the author's central interest is Christology. The author was a pastor of the French Reformed Church. Roger Mehl, Professor of Philosophy at Strasbourg University, writes of him: `if he had lived, he would surely have given us a theology of the New Testament whose unity would have consisted in the idea of juridical mysticism, which binds together the fundamental ideas of justice, justification, witness, ambassador, pledge, seal, etc.'" (p. 7). 2nd impression edition.
