Corpus-Paul

[yonder moynihan gillihan <ymgillih AT midway.uchicago.edu>]

In response to D Hinley's question of whether scholars interpret Paul's
letters as heavily redacted anymore, my most recent experience with Prof.
H. D. Betz would indicate "yes", especially as we studied (obviously) 2
Cor., but also with the other epistles.  It is true, however, that
rhetorical criticism and reader-response theory and other more "lit-crit"
approaches tend to be applied (so some say) to the neglect of more
rigorous philological methods of criticism.  As a brand-new graduate
student I look forward to seeing how approaches, including my own, develop
over the next few years.
