Beschreibungen
Now available for the first time in English, Karl Ludwig Schmidt's The Framework of the Story of Jesus (Der Rahmen der Geschichte Jesu) has been a foundation of New Testament studies. Through meticulous analysis, Schmidt demonstrates that the Synoptic Gospels are collections of individual stories that circulated orally and independently in the earliest Christian communities. In their oral forms, most of these traditions existed apart from any sequence or specific temporal or geographic location. The chronology and locations now evident in the Gospels, Schmidt argues, are frameworks that the evangelists applied to the stories while collecting and recording the oral traditions. Across much of the twentieth century and even into the present day, this argument has undergirded Gospel interpretation. But given that The Framework of the Story of Jesus remained untranslated, Schmidt's ideas have been sometimes ignored and often misunderstood. Synoptic Gospels discussion and study will surely be enriched by engagement with the evidence and argument of this classic.
Karl Ludwig Schmidt (1891–1956) helped establish form criticism, an influential method in New Testament studies. Schmidt opposed Nazism, left Germany in 1933, and settled in Basel, Switzerland, where he taught. Besides
<i>The Framework of the Story of Jesus</i>, Schmidt also wrote
<i>The Place of the Gospels in the General History of Literature</i> (2002).

“Karl Ludwig Schmidt’s revolutionary work helped transform the entire discipline of New Testament studies, but it has never been available to the English-reading public. Byron McCane has performed an enormous service to our field by producing an accessible and highly readable translation that reveals the true genius of this classic text.”

<br> “A century later, KL Schmidt’s
<i>Framework </i>still provides not only the basis for
<i>the</i>
<i>story of Jesus</i>, with its detailed argument that Gospel
<i>pericopae</i> are stand-alone stories—but also for all Gospel studies ever since. I warmly welcome this English translation, and only wish that it had been available when I was doing my own doctorate on Gospel genre—for Schmidt’s ‘
<i>framework’</i> is also true for many other ancient biographies.”
