James Louis Martyn (1925- +2015)

Στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης κυκλοφόρησε η είδηση η είδηση του θανάτου του James Louis Martyn, καθηγητή της Καινής Διαθήκης στο Union Theological Seminary, New York. Ο Martyn είναι γνωστός για το έργο του στο κατά Ιωάννην ευαγγέλιο (History and Theology in the Fourth Gospel,1968) και για την επίδραση της αποκαλυπτικής στη σκέψη του Παύλου. Σημαντικό είναι επίσης το υπόμνημά του επίσης στην προς Γαλάτας στη σειρά The Anchor Bible (1998).

Με το έργο του συνεχίζει την παράδοση του R. Bultmann και του E. Käsemann ιδιαίτερα στον τρόπο  που κατανοεί την ιστορία και τη κήρυγμα για την Ανάσταση.
