  10. For the basis of this translation, cf. Gerhard Lohfink and Ludwig Weimer, Maria—nicht ohne Israel. Eine neue Sicht der Lehre von der Unbefleckten Empfängnis (Freiburg: Herder, 2008), 350–51, 433. [Translator’s note: The gender inflection in Greek and German of “logos/word” (masculine) creates difficulties for English translation, since in English most inanimate things and abstractions are “it.”]

  11. Theissen, Religion of the Earliest Churches, 42.

  12. Ibid., 41–47.

  13. These are the titles of chapters 8–14 in part 3 of Gerd Theissen and Annette Merz, The Historical Jesus: A Comprehensive Guide (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1998).

  14. For the whole question of the “Hellenization of Christianity,” see the essay by Alois Grillmeier, “‘Christus licet uobis inuitis deus.’ Ein Beitrag zur Diskussion über die Hellenisierung der christlichen Botschaft,” 81–111, in idem, Fragmente zur Christologie. Studien zum altkirchlichen Christusbild, ed. Theresia Hainthaler (Freiburg: Herder, 1997); also Karl-Heinz Menke, Jesus ist Gott der Sohn, 8, 89–90, 168–72, and elsewhere.

  Chapter 21

  1. For what follows, see esp. Alfred Zänker, Der lange Weg nach Utopia. Vom Vormarsch des politisch Vernünftigen (Asendorf: Mut-Verlag, 2003).

  2. Ibid., 143–44, summarizing material from Ernest Callenbach, Ecotopia: The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston (Berkeley, CA: Banyan Tree Books, 1975).

  3. Ibid., 51. Cf. Francis Bacon, The New Atlantis: Or, Voyage to the Land of the Rosicrucians (1627).

  4. Ibid., 53.

  5. For a long time exegesis tried to keep the process of growth totally separate from the parable and therefore spoke of a “contrast parable.” It was all about the tiny beginning and the astonishing size at the end. But the fear of discovering anything like growth in the “growth parables” rests on the fact that before World War I the reign of God was repeatedly equated with civilizing, intellectual, and moral entities.
