William Wrede (1859–1906) was a professor of the New Testament at the University of Breslau. He is best known for his work on the Gospel of Mark entitled The Messianic Secret, which remains a mainstay in Historical Jesus Studies, as well as his work entitled Paul.
Jacob N. Cerone is a doctoral candidate at the university of Erlangen-Nuremburg. He is co-author of Daily Scriptures: 365 Readings in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, the editor of Strack and Billerbeck’s A Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash and Adolf von Harnack’s The Letter of the Roman Church to the Corinthian Church from the Era of Domitian: 1 Clement, and co-editor of the Apostolic Fathers Greek Reader.
“Over a century after his Messiasgeheimnis, the name of Wrede continues to be well-known to students of the New Testament. His insightful work on 1 Clement is less well-known; Jacob Cerone has done us a great service by rescuing this text from obscurity and presenting it in a clear and usable English translation.”
—Alistair C. Stewart, senior lecturer in biblical studies, Codrington College
“This new translation of Wrede’s classic work on 1 Clement makes this perennially important volume available to a wider audience. The topics under discussion remain as central to the study of 1 Clement as when Wrede addressed them in 1891. For serious students of the Apostolic Fathers, this edition is invaluable and permits a fuller understanding of landmark scholarly developments. The translator, Jacob Cerone, is to be commended for his fine work.”
—Paul Foster, professor of New Testament and early Christianity, University of Edinburgh
“Jacob Cerone’s translation of Wrede’s classic studies on 1 Clement is fresh, careful, and a welcomed contribution to English-speaking students today! Indeed, Wrede’s insights are as relevant for contemporary scholars as when first offered at the end of the nineteenth century. I am confident Cerone’s efforts will be much appreciated by those who engage the fruits of his work.”
—Clayton N. Jefford, professor of Scripture, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology
“Jacob Cerone presents a valuable translation for an important work on 1 Clement, particularly with respect to the place of the Old Testament in the letter. This volume will serve as a vital resource to Anglophone scholars.”
—Janelle Peters, lecturer of theological studies, Loyola Marymount University
