English summary: The question of the messianic claim of Jesus and of the origins of Christology remains highly controversial. Although the authors of the four articles in this volume consider the subject from varying perspectives, they do come to the same conclusion. The crucial problem is the early application of the title messiah to Jesus and the condemnation of Jesus as a messianic pretender. If this was indeed the charge on which Jesus was condemned, it must have been occasioned by his ministry, and it can be safely assumed that he confirmed the charge.
German description: Vier Studien
Die Frage nach dem messianischen Anspruch Jesu und dem Ursprung der Christologie ist nach wie vor umstritten. In vier Beitragen betrachten Martin Hengel und Anna Maria Schwemer das Thema unter verschiedenen Aspekten und kommen dennoch zu einer einheitlichen Losung.
