Welcome to the new episode of our Beyond Canon podcast. This time we interviewed Daniel M. Gurtner, external affiliate at the Centre for Social Scientific Study of the Bible at St Mary's University in Twickenham, London. If you haven't read his book "Introducing the Pseudepigrapha of Second Temple Judaism", this is a perfect opportunity to get to know his work and to hear a lot of interesting facts about these extra-canonical writings that are crucial for understanding the biblical scriptures and their unique characteristics. Enjoy!  

In this episode, we spoke to Janet Spittler, Associate Professor at the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia, USA. We talked about the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, but Janet also gave us her thoughts on what is most important to do good research on the apocryphal writings and what the long-term goals should be for those who engage in this enigmatic world.  

In dieser Folge haben wir Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter, Lehrstuhlinhaber für Exegese und Theologie des Neuen Testaments sowie die neutestamentlichen Apokryphen an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, interviewt. Das Thema unseres Gesprächs waren die apokryphen Evangelien, die seit Jahrzehnten im Fokus von Prof. Schröters Forschung stehen und zu denen er bereits einige Werke publiziert hat wie z. B. :    , I. Band: Evangelien undVerwandtes (in zwei Teilbänden), Tübingen 2012 (gemeinsam mit ChristophMarkschies).  (BETL260), Leuven 2013.  Entstehung ­ Rezeption ­ Theologie (BZNW 157), Berlin/New York 2008 (gemeinsam mit Jörg Frey und Enno Edzard Popkes).  . Jesusüberlieferungen außerhalb der Bibel, München2020. 

The third part of Professor Merkt's contribution to Beyond Canon is about approaching phenomena like Jesus' footprint via the thing theory.

In the second part of his podcast, Prof. Andreas Merkt talks about how Material Theology serves to do more than consolidate religious doctrines, forming its own religious topography in Rome, Egypt and around the world.
