Este minucioso estudio analiza todos los usos de  katalla/ssw y derivados en la literatura griega antigua desde el periodo clásico hasta el siglo vi de nuestra era. Se presta especial atención al Nuevo Testamento: 2 Cor 5,18-21; Rom 5,8-11; Col 1,20-22 y Ef 2,16.

This detailed study explores all known uses of katalla/ssw and its derived cognate verb forms in ancient Greek literature, from the classical period to the 6th century A.D. Special attention is given to the New Testament writings, including 2 Cor 5:18-21; Rom 5:8-11; Col 1:20,22; and Eph 2f:16.

The major thesis of the work is that Paul of Tarsus is the first known writer to use katalla/ssw in the active voice in which the offended party in a relationship (i.e. God) as (grammatical) subject takes the initiative in effecting reconciliation between himself and offending party.

The material collected and examined in this study should serve as a standard for rigorous lexical study of Greek vocabulary items, as well as the most thorough study of katalla/ssw and its cognates.
