Brown, An Introduction to the New Testament by geruish http://biblicalstudiesnotebook.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/raymond-e-brown-an-introduction-to-the-new-testament/#comment-98 geruish Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:34:26 +0000 http://biblicalstudiesnotebook.wordpress.com/?p=42#comment-98 As someone who is just starting theological training (though I've down a huge amount of reading over the years) this book is both readable and studious. Although it's titled as an 'introduction', the author does not just skim the surface but provides a solid basis for his analysis of each book. It's also interesting to read a New Testament Introduction from someone from a different church tradition (R.E. Brown is a Catholic). I'd highly recommend this book to anyone starting out studying the NT.

William Countryman, Dirt, Greed, and Sex: Sexual Ethics in the New Testament and Their Implications for Today by Mike http://biblicalstudiesnotebook.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/l-william-countryman-dirt-greed-and-sex-sexual-ethics-in-the-new-testament-and-their-implications-for-today/#comment-82 Mike Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:38:02 +0000 http://biblicalstudiesnotebook.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/l-william-countryman-dirt-greed-and-sex-sexual-ethics-in-the-new-testament-and-their-implications-for-today/#comment-82 I found myself in general agreement with Will Deming when I read this book. His categories, while very helpful and important for NT study were two restrictive. He created too many unnecessary false dichotomies between purity and ethics. I kept finding myself saying, "YES, but..." throughout the book. I found myself in general agreement with Will Deming when I read this book.

I knew that Childs had been critical of Hays and I had completely overlooked his endorsement on the front cover. I shall add this to the blog entry. Thanks for pointing that out.

Childs has been very critical of Hays in the past. I wonder if things have changed in this volume. Well, that’s what is says on the front cover. Childs has been very critical of Hays in the past.
