Reading James with New Eyes: Methodological Reassessments of the Letter of James (Library of New Testament Studies | LNTS)
Overview
The letters of James, 1 and 2 Peter, and Jude are among the most neglected letters of the New Testament. Thus, methodological advances in New Testament study tend to arise among the Gospels or Pauline letters. But now these letters are beginning to receive increased attention in the scholarly community.
Reading James with New Eyes is the first of four volumes that incorporate new research in this area. The essays collected here examine the impact of recent methodological developments in New Testament studies to the letter of James. The developments analyzed include, for example, rhetorical, social-scientific, socio-rhetorical, ideological, and hermeneutical methods. Each essay has a similar three-fold structure, making them perfect for use by students: 1) a description of the methodological approach; 2) the application of the methodological approach to James; and 3) a conclusion identifying how the methodological approach contributes to a fresh understanding of the letter.
