Out any day now is this bodacious biblical studies bonanza:

Earliest Christian History

History, Literature, and Theology. Essays from the Tyndale Fellowship in Honor of Martin Hengel
Edited by by Michael F. Bird and Jason Maston

Martin Hengel (1926-2009) was a historian of the early church and ancient Judaism. His influence extended through his many publications, research students, conference participation, and ecclesiastical work. His scholarly legacy was honoured by a conference at Tyndale House in July 2010 with a number of speakers from Germany, England, and the USA coming together to remember and honour their colleague with papers on topics that Martin Hengel spent his life exploring. The essays in this volume include biographical works by former students remembering him as both a teacher and Christian scholar. Thereafter, several essays on Christology, the Gospels, and Judaism and Early Christianity engage with his contribution to these areas. Also included in the collection are new translations of six of Martin Hengel’s most important essays put into English for the first time.

I have to say that there is a cracker jack line up of studies in this book. The price is a bit expensive, but it is 680 pp. and is worth it just for the six newly translated essays by the late Prof.  Martin Hengel put into English for the first time.
