For the last three lectures, Peter, you may want to
reorganize as follows:

6. Stendahl and Sanders: “New Perspective launched” 

7. Dunn and Wright vs. Gaston and Gager: “Disputes
within the New Perspective itself”

8. Sociological/anthropological approaches: Wayne
Meeks, Jerome Neyrey, Bruce Malina, etc.

Davies would of course fall into 6., though I see
Stendahl and Sanders as the real mold-breakers of the
old perspective.

Disputes within the New Perspective itself lend
themselves to a separate category.

You could wrap up with category 8. Besides Meeks, I
have in mind books like Neyrey’s “Paul in other
words”, Malina’s and Neyrey’s “Portraits of Paul". I
think these works deserve more attention than they
normally receive. (On the other hand, I'm a hopeless
social-science guru!)
