Dear All,

 

I have recently joined C-P and immensely enjoy reading up-to-date scholarly opinions on various topics. I am in my first year of a PhD, working on the text of 1 Thessalonians 4:13--5:11. At the moment I am grappling with issues of methodology, from the historical-critical perspective.

 

I have found that the prevailing material seems to focus on the "how" of various interpretive methods, rather than the merits of each. I know enough about the nuts-and-bolts, and want to get on to the real business of criticising/defending different methodologies--especially historical criticism. Does anyone know of new discussions which have this sort of thrust?

 

Thanks in advance.
