English summary: After Religion, Revelation, Church and God, the fifth volume of this series offers a Christology in historical form. Excellently tailored to the needs of graduate students, Wenz discusses the history of the Leben-Jesu-Forschung as well as the main features of Jesus' message of God's Kingdom. The reasons for the trial and the eventual execution of Jesus are discussed in detail. In three chapters on the resurrection of the crucified Christ, the Cross of the Risen Lord, and on the future of Christ who came, the origins of early Christian Christology are reconstructed, whose primary datum is Easter.

Michael Moorcock

Michael Moorcock is one of the most important figures in British SF and Fantasy literature. The author of many literary novels and stories in practically every genre, his novels have won and been shortlisted for numerous awards including the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Whitbread and Guardian Fiction Prize.

In 1999, he was given the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award; in 2001, he was inducted into the SF Hall of Fame; and in 2007, he was named a SFWA Grandmaster. Michael Moorcock is also a musician who has performed since the seventies with his own band, the Deep Fix; and, as a member of the prog rock band, Hawkwind, won a gold disc. His tenure as editor of New Worlds magazine in the sixties and seventies is seen as the high watermark of SF editorship in the UK, and was crucial in the development of the SF New Wave.

Michael Moorcock's literary creations include Hawkmoon, Corum, Von Bek, Jerry Cornelius and, of course, his most famous character, Elric. He has been compared to, among others, Balzac, Dumas, Dickens, James Joyce, Ian Fleming, J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard. Although born in London, he now splits his time between homes in Texas and Paris.
