DESCRIPTION:

This seminar, intended for doctoral students, provides a forum for in-depth consideration, research, and study of methods in New Testament investigation. The outline is based on the volume, Hearing the New Testament, ed. Joel B. Green (1995) with focus on rhetorical, literary, narrative, form, redaction, and liturgical/doxological criticism. In the Spring 1997 quarter the biblical text to be considered is 2 Corinthians.
