It seems that even in France , alas, the book was published by Hans Weder Gottesherrschaf und Gegenwart, 1993, translated here in Italy for Paideia in 2005 ( this time, and God's sovereignty ).
Weder is probably the last great representative of exegesis of school (post) bultmanniana. Although dated 1993, the book in question is a kind of hermeneutic essay eschatology of Jesus' characteristic of this school - by Bultmann himself Käsemann and Jüngel - trying to build some kind of hermeneutical castles ad Jesuit kingdom God Bultmann, however, had the good taste not to project his hermeneutic Existential Jesus, letting them remain in place (the apocalypse). Not so his disciples, including precisely our Weder.

There is no need to dwell here on the elegant musings of Weder (like, with the announcement of its close proximity to the worship of God, Jesus replaces the chronological understanding of the apocalyptic, its understanding kairological, that the future of God goes right into this, like everything else in the part, putting an end to the power that the past with its present and blame it on the setting in motion the human existence bla bla bla).

This little book by Hans Weder, published in 1993 in Germany, "is an important element of the contemporary debate about the historical Jesus and the eschatological question (Elian Cuvillier). The author, who claims postbultmannienne tradition, is committing a polemic against some researchers of the "third quest" who see the historical Jesus a representative of the Jewish apocalyptic which he would share the worldview and eschatology. Hans Weder, however, relieve the originality of the eschatology of Jesus and early Christianity through reflection on the understanding of time. Chronological representation of apocalyptic that the wicked old aeon will give way to the new aeon, the kingdom of God, is abolished. The kairos is fulfilled, there is no discontinuity between the eons, which is accomplished in this does not herald the end of time, but it is a fragment of God's future that emerges so lightning in our present. It
in modo cui viene riassunta la posizione di Weder è certamente esatto. E altrettanto esatto è che per Weder, così come per Käsemann, l'annuncio gesuano del regno di Dio, pur prendendo la "carne" (immagini, linguaggio) dall'apocalittica giudaica, se ne distingue essenzialmente (e lo stesso vale ovviamente rispetto all'annuncio apocalittico del Battista). In tutto questo il libro di Weder pare l'epitome perfetta di quella corrente di studi (e che coincide appunto con i post-bultmanniani) che si suole definire New o Second Quest.
La cosa interessante però è che l'Editore francese presenta il libro come se A) costituisse un elemento importante del dibattito contemporaneo sull'escatologia di Gesù; B) ingaggiasse una polemics with the proponents of the "apocalyptic Jesus" of the Third Quest.
On the basis of such a presentation, everyone would expect some kind of critical discussion of the work of Sanders and Meier (not to say Fredriksen, Allison, Ehrman - and somewhat Wright), Third-Questers excellent attributing to Jesus a strong apocalyptic eschatology chronologically imminent.
But in what our poor reader encountering disappointment when, just come home and browsing the bibliography of volume, to find that is not mentioned a single book or article in English (with the noble exception of good old Liddell-Scott!), When The Third Quest (mean whatever you want with it) is known to "stuff Anglophone, or at least it was in 1993 (in the second half of the 90 different contributions coming from France, Germany and Scandinavia).
So after the high-sounding proclamations, you realize that certains chercheurs de la troisième quête which Weder argues are in fact ... Werner Georg Kümmel and Erich Grasser!

Du Cerf Congratulations dear!

PS Someone will ask, perhaps for the French edition , Weder decided to update his text, adding un'infuocata appendix against Sanders, Meier and his compatriots apocalyptic Becker and Lüdemann (Theissen and I would say)? It may be doubted. Weder's book was an example of self-isolation and typically Teutonic (see also books Gnilka) in 1993, it is doubtful that it has changed its mindset exegetical in the meantime. Moreover, the publisher says that this is an updated edition, and the tiny number of pages (98 - 85 but the Italian edition is the index that is already on page 7) does not let it not be assumed.
