Timeline

1921

Krister Olofson Stendahl (21 April 1921 – 15 April 2008) was a Swedish theologian, New Testament scholar, and Church of Sweden Bishop of Stockholm.

He also served as dean, professor, and professor emeritus at Harvard Divinity School.

1954

Stendahl received his doctorate in New Testament studies from Uppsala University with his dissertation The school of St. Matthew and its use of the Old Testament (1954).

1967

Stendahl actively participated in The Villanova University Theology Institute founded by Professor Joseph Papin who directed the Institute and edited its publications between 1967 and 1974.

Through his interest in the Jewish context of the New Testament, Stendahl developed an interest in Jewish Studies and was active in Jewish–Christian dialogue.

1971

In 1971, Stendahl was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) degree from Whittier College.

Stendahl is perhaps most famous for his publication of the article "The Apostle Paul and the Introspective Conscience of the West".

This article, along with the later publication of the book Paul Among Jews and Gentiles, conveys a new idea in Pauline studies suggesting that scholarship dating all the way back to Augustine may miss the context and thesis of Paul.

His main point revolves around the early tension in Christianity between Jewish Christians and Gentile converts.

According to Stendahl, the main concern of Paul's writings on Jesus' role, and salvation by faith, is the problem of the inclusion of gentile (Greek) Torah observers into God's covenant.

He specifically argues that later interpreters of Paul have assumed a hyper-active conscience when they have begun exegesis of his works.

As a result, they have suggested an overly psychological interpretation of the apostle Paul, that Paul himself would most likely not have understood at all for himself.

1984

He was later Professor at the Divinity School at Harvard University, where he also served as dean, before being elected Bishop of Stockholm in 1984.

Stendahl was the second director of the Center for Religious Pluralism at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.

1985

Stendahl is credited with creating Stendahl's three rules of religious understanding, which he presented in a 1985 press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, in response to vocal opposition to the building of a temple there by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His rules are as follows:

1987

He died six days before his 87th birthday.

1989

After retiring in 1989, he returned to the United States, and was Mellon Professor of Divinity Emeritus at the Harvard Divinity School.

He also taught at Brandeis University.

Bishop Stendahl was an honorary fellow of the Graduate Theological Foundation.
