| Title: Die Heiden. Juden, Christen und das Problem des Fremden Secondary Title: WUNT 70 Type: Edited Book Year: 1994 Abstract: "After a ten-page introduction by Hengel, this volume presents eight papers on "pagans" in early Jewish writings: P. Marinkovic on special forms of legitimate Yahweh-worship by pagans in the pagan world; N. Umemoto on Jews, "pagans", and the human race according to Philo; F. Siegert on pagans on the ps.-Philonic homily De Jona; R. Deines on the rejection of foreigners in the Qumran texts; H. Lichtenberger on the holiness of the land and the sanctification of life; A. M. Schwemer on legends about Elijah as an Arab; B. Ego on rabbinic interpretations of the repentance of the people of Nineveh; and F. Avemarie on Edom as a symbol of Rome in early rabbinic literature. Then six articles deal with the pagans in early Christian literature: Feldmeier on Jesus' "lost" controversy with the Syro-Phoenician woman (Mk 7:24-30); J. Frey on the form and function of discourse about pagans in the Fourth Gospel; Heckel on the image of pagans and the identity of Christians according to Paul; G. Schimanowski on differentiation and identity formation in the Pauline paraenesis in 1 Thessalonians; J. C. Salzmann on exemplary pagans (1 Clem. 55:1); and C. Markschies on the tractate Contra Paganos. Finally there is one article on inner-pagan polemic: A. Rehn on polemics against the Epicureans in Roman literature (vomunt ut edant, edunt ut vomant)".
