| Summary: | It is not often that a book totally shifts your paradigm in unexpected ways, but this is one such book. If I were to try and enumerate the ways that this book has shifted me I would have to include firstly my view of the usefulness of textual research into the meaning of particular words in the biblical text and secondly my conception of the place of the Pastoral Epistles in the Pauline canon. My theological education was very firm on these issues. Textual study was a vestige of eighteenth century enlightenment project and Biblical Studies has moved far beyond the need to establish the most authoritative text of the NT. As for the Pastoral Epistles, the assured results of scholarship had long ago confined these minor letters to the dung heap of history as pious forgeries at best and the fifth column of patriarchal early Catholicism at worst. |
