Brevard Childs shows how the approach of canonical criticism can change the way we read Paul's letters. Although he is known as an Old Testament scholar, his knowledge of research in Pauline studies is impressive, especially his knowledge of the literature in German. He offers many insights into understanding Paul. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Brevard Childs here turns his sharp scholarly eye to the works of the apostle Paul and makes an unusual argument: the New Testament was canonically shaped, its formation a hermeneutical exercise in which its anonymous apostles and postapostolic editors collected, preserved, and theologically shaped the material in order for the evangelical traditions to serve successive generations of Christians. Childs contends that within the New Testament the Pauline corpus stands as a unit bookended by Romans and the Pastoral Epistles. He assigns an introductory role to Romans, examining how it puts the contingencies of Paul's earlier letters into context without sacrificing their particularity. At the other end, the Pastoral Epistles serve as a concluding valorization of Paul as the church's doctrinal model. By considering Paul's works as a whole, Childs offers a way to gain a fuller understanding of the individual letters. No library descriptions found. |
