The »Great Commandment« in Early Christianity and its 
Jewish and Greco-Roman Environment

In October 2024 the Institute for the Study of Christian Origins co-hosted, along with the Protestant Faculty of Tübingen and the University of Munich, an international symposium on the topic of Jesus’ “double command” to love God and neighbor in its historical and theological context. The papers delivered at the symposium were excellent and enlightening. We are collecting all of the contributions from the symposium, along with a few specially commissioned essays to help fill in some gaps, and we are in the process of editing them into a single volume. Mohr Siebeck Publishers in Tübingen have agreed to publish this collection in their “WUNT” (Wissenschalftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament) series. We currently project that the publication will be completed in fall 2026. Stay tuned for more details!
