History of New Testament Research, Volume Three: From C. H. Dodd to Hans Dieter Betz
Overview
In this masterful work, William Baird continues his insightful, balanced, and accessible survey of the major developments in New Testament scholarship. Volume 3 charts the dramatic discoveries and breakthroughs in method and approach that characterized the mid- and late twentieth century. This volume presents the development and significance of notable movements, such as the Bultmann School, the development of scholarly societies like SBL, and various theological and hermeneutical developments. More than a mere list of trends in New Testament studies, Baird contextually situates prominent figures, developments, and approaches of New Testament studies in order to trace undergirding trajectories for a holistic and organic view of New Testament scholarship.
