Gottes Ewigkeit ist Gottes Macht über die Zeit und über seinen eigenen Bezug zur Zeit. Er kann seinen Bezug zur Zeit ändern, kann sich alle Zeiten simultan gegenwärtig halten oder auch in den Wandel der Zeiten eintreten und selbst Veränderung und Zeitlichkeit erfahren. Diese These stellt Jan Schole an den Anfang seiner Arbeit. Zum Ziel setzt er sich, ein Modell zu entwickeln, das demonstriert, dass dieser Begriff von Ewigkeit konsistent denkbar ist. Bausteine und Vorlagen für dieses Modell gewinnt er aus der Analyse und Interpretation ausgewählter physikalischer Theorien und der Spätphilosophie Schellings. In der Ausführung des Modells stellt der Autor dar, wie das Modell Übergänge zwischen verschiedenen Zeitgestalten und -bezügen ermöglicht und so die Macht über die Zeit, wie sie in der einleitenden These postuliert wurde, widerspruchsfrei rekonstruieren kann.

Die narrative Exegese ist ein wichtiges Paradigma der neueren Markusforschung. Ein Grundproblem der Forschung war es bisher aber, historisch-kritische Methoden und synchrone Ansätze in ein Gesamtsystem der Interpretation zu überführen. Die sogenannte "kognitive Wende" in der Narratologie weist über eine rein textimmanente Analyse hinaus. Sie macht es möglich, die vielfältigen Interaktionen zwischen Rezipient und Erzählung zu beschreiben. Jan Rüggemeier stellt in seiner Studie eine entsprechende Methodik vor und zeichnet systematisch nach, welches kognitive Bild der Leser des Markusevangeliums im Lektüreprozess vom Protagonisten gewinnt und wie die einzelnen Figurenperspektiven seine Wahrnehmung der Hauptfigur beeinflussen. Die markinische Christologie erweist sich dabei im Kern als emergent. Die Identität Jesu erschließt sich erst vom Ende der Erzählung her und fußt auf dem textexternen Vorwissen - insbesondere den Bekenntnistraditionen - der intendierten Rezipienten.Diese Arbeit wurde mit dem Armin Schmitt Preis 2017 und dem Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise 2019 ausgezeichnet.

Im dritten Band seiner Ideengeschichte des Christentums stellt Jan Rohls die Frage nach Gott mit ihren kontroversen Antworten in den Mittelpunkt. Der Gott Israels verband sich im antiken Christentum mit dem philosophischen Gott der Griechen und wurde durch Aneignung und Kritik des Platonismus zum trinitarischen Gott. Dieser Gott geriet in der Neuzeit in eine Krise. Nicht nur hielt man die Trinität für widervernünftig und unbiblisch. Auch die Gültigkeit der Beweise für die Existenz Gottes wurde bestritten. Rohls zeigt, dass dies zwar einerseits zu atheistischen Positionen bis hin zur Feststellung des Todes Gottes führte, aber andererseits auch zu unterschiedlichen Versuchen, den Gottesbegriff umzubilden. Fragen wie die, ob Gott transzendent oder immanent, unveränderlich und leidenslos oder werdend und leidend, Person oder Geist, durch Vernunft oder nur durch Offenbarung zugänglich sei, rückten in den Vordergrund.

Die Apokalypse des Mose, eine Geschichte über das Leben Adams und Evas nach der Vertreibung aus dem Paradies mit erzählerischen Rückblenden auf die Verführung der Erzeltern, wird seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als Text aus der Umwelt des Neuen Testaments angesehen und dementsprechend als Parallelstellenreservoir verwertet. In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist seine religionsgeschichtliche Verortung strittig geworden, mehrere Forscher weisen sie nicht mehr dem frühen Judentum, sondern dem Christentum zu, wobei in der Regel jeweils mit Parallelstellen argumentiert wird.In dieser Situation zeigt Jan Dochhorn einen neuen methodischen Zugang auf, der etwas mehr Sicherheit verspricht als die Arbeit mit religionsgeschichtlichen Parallelen. Ausgehend von einer eigenständigen Rekonstruktion des Textes untersucht die Kommentierung vor allem die Frage, welche exegetische Arbeit der Apc Mos zugrunde liegt. Der Autor weist nach, daß der Text fast durchgängig auf exegetischen Beobachtungen an hebräischer Bibelüberlieferung beruht, dabei jedoch zugleich auf Griechisch abgefaßt wurde. Ein solcher Text konnte am ehesten in einem griechischsprachigen jüdisch-palästinensischen Milieu des 1./2. Jh. n. Chr. entstehen.
