Abstract:

Sowohl das Johannesevangelium als auch der Hebräerbrief verwenden Kategorien des Raumes und der Zeit als ordnende Prinzipien ihrer jeweiligen symbolischen Welt. Beide zeigen sich dabei sensibel für die Art und Weise, in der diese Kategorien traditionell zur Strukturierung des Heiligen verwendet wurden. Beide teilen auch die Überzeugung, dass das Kommen Jesu, des fleischgewordenen Wortes bzw. des eschatologischen Hohepriesters, revolutionäre Auswirkungen auf die Art und Weise hat, in der ,heilige Zeit' und ,heiliger Raum' funktionieren. Im Johannesevangelium wurde der Tempel, um den sich die heilige Zeit dreht, durch einen neuen Tempel ersetzt, der die Ewigkeit gegenwärtig sein lässt. Im Hebräerbrief wird die Unterscheidung heiliger Räume, die sich im Kosmos und in der menschlichen Gesellschaft spiegelt, durch den ein-für-allemaligen Eintritt des eschatologischen Hohepriesters in die Gegenwart Gottes aufgehoben.

  The journal is concerned with early Christianity as a historical phenomenon. Thereby, "Early Christianity" aims to overcome certain limitations which have hindered the development of the discipline, including the concept of the "New Testament" itself. The journal, then, is taken to cover not only the first Christian century but also the second.
  
  This journal will not, however, give any special prominence to reception-history or to the second century. The total phenomenon called "early Christianity" comprises a kaleidoscopic range of individual phenomena, including communal structures, social norms, discursive practices, points of conflict, material remains, and much else – far more than just the production and reception of texts. This journal will strive to reflect this multiplicity of contexts, in the expectation of new light on our subject-matter from a variety of angles.
  
  "Early Christianity" will appear four times a year. Each issue will contain four (or five) articles, at least one of which will be in German, together with sections devoted to new books, new discoveries, and new projects. Every issue will be the primary responsibility of each of the four co-editors in turn, every alternate issue will be devoted to a specific theme.
