"Early Christian Centers" Series (editor)

The planned series "Early Christian Centers" (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck) investigates the emergence and institutionalization of early Christianity from its beginnings on into the 4th cent. CE in Alexandria, Antioch, Athens, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Corinth, Philippi, Rome, and Thessalonica. Through a consistently applied local-historical approach, a team of international experts will inquire into the ways in which early Christian groups were embedded in their urban cultural-religious milieu and how they developed into an influential and dominant entity. 

"History of Biblical Exegesis" Series (co-editor)

The new series "History of Biblical Exegesis" (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck) continues the series "Beiträge zur Geschichte der biblischen Exegese", which was published from 1955 until 1998, was edited by O. Cullmann, E. Käsemann, et al., and which encompassed 33 volumes.

 

Book Series "Church and Milieu" ("Kirche und Milieu"; co-editor)

The series "Church and Milieu" ("Kirche und Milieu"; Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht) aims to display the significance of the milieu perspective for church practice in a concrete manner by way of discrete examples. Theological foundations as well as empirical social-scientific data and analyses open up possibilites for action which is oriented to the addressees, is pastorally sensitive, and which sees and takes people seriously in their concrete lifeworld character and situation.
