We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming NT guild meeting on February 3, 2025, at 1:00 pm. As part of our ongoing theme, “New Testament Scholars Across the World,” we are honored to welcome Dr. Armin Baum, Professor of New Testament at Freie Theologische Hochschule, Germany.
Dr. Baum is a prolific scholar in New Testament Studies, early Christian historiography, and ancient literary traditions, with a particular focus on pseudepigraphy, the Synoptic Problem, New Testament hermeneutics, and the role of men and women in antiquity. His influential works include Lukas als Historiker der letzten Jesusreise [Luke as a Historian of Jesus’ Final Journey] (Wuppertal: Brockhaus, 1993), Der mündliche Faktor und seine Bedeutung für die synoptische Frage: Analogien aus der antiken Literatur, der Experimentalpsychologie, der Oral Poetry-Forschung und dem rabbinischen Traditionswesen [The Oral Factor and Its Significance for the Synoptic Problem: Analogies from Ancient Literature, Experimental Psychology, Oral Poetry Research, and Rabbinic Tradition] (Tübingen: Francke, 2008), and Pseudepigraphie und literarische Fälschung im frühen Christentum [Pseudepigraphy and Literary Forgery in Early Christianity] (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2001), alongside numerous contributions to New Testament theology, historiography, and textual studies. He has also served as Vice President for Research at the Theological Seminary in Gießen and as an Adjunct Professor at ETF Leuven.
