Author

Harm W. Hollander was a Lecturer in New Testament Studies and Hellenistic Greek at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, from 1991 until his retirement in 2012. Up to his unexpected death in 2021, he was a renowned expert on 1 Corinthians. His extraordinarily perceptive exegetical analysis and his exceptional ability to convey the results of this analysis in clear language can be seen throughout his complete works. His academic research interests are the interpretation of the New Testament and other early-Christian writings, especially “The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs,” a Jewish-Christian document from the second century C.E. He has authored a full commentary on 1 Corinthians (3 volumes; 1996-2007), and many articles on New Testament passages, which have been published in New Testament Studies, Novum Testamentum, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Expository Times, and Bible Translator, among others. In addition, his publications include the books Joseph as an Ethical Model in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (1981) and, with Marinus de Jonge, The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs: A Commentary (1985).
