Services
Wendland's main area of research was the Hellenistic world at the time of the New Testament . He was particularly interested in Philo of Alexandria . He devoted himself to sifting through and researching his writings, which he edited together with Leopold Cohn under the name Philonis operae quae supersunt . This edition is still considered the standard edition of the work today. He also succeeded in finding several indications for the factuality of the New Testament (e.g. the mocking scene in Mark 15 : 16-20 as the custom of Roman legionaries to determine a Saturnalia king by lot).
