The Future of New Testament Studies, Gebunden

Klappentext

This volume explores the transformative potential of New Testament studies within a cross-disciplinary framework, asking how the field might contribute meaningfully to broader conversations in the humanities and social sciences. Rather than isolating itself within traditional boundaries, New Testament scholarship is invited to express its distinctive methodologies and insights while engaging with contemporary debates across theology, ethics, politics, and material culture.

Contributors to this collection offer a rich array of approaches-historical-critical, ethical, political, and conceptual-demonstrating how interdisciplinary dialogue can illuminate both ancient texts and modern contexts. Beginning with reflections on the relationship between New Testament studies and Theology, the volume moves through explorations of historical method, the ethical and political stakes of interpretation, and the social-material dimensions of biblical texts.

Ultimately, this volume envisions a future in which New Testament studies not only affirm their relevance within theological discourse but also participate actively in shaping interdisciplinary knowledge production. It is an essential resource for scholars seeking to connect ancient scripture with the pressing questions of today.
