...lecturing every fortnight. Cullmann stitches busily away at his theological works on trains between Basel, Paris and Rome (soon to be published is his book on the Christology of the New Testament, and also in progress are a French translation of the New Testament, a commentary on the Gospel of John, and innumerable lectures).
