More About This Book

Overview

A distinguished group of scholars here introduces and illustrates the array of approaches and methods used in New Testament study today. Standard approaches - text criticism, historical approaches, etc. - appear side by side with newer approaches - narrative criticism, Latino-Latina hermeneutics, theological interpretation of the New Testament, and more. Each chapter introduces a particular approach and then demonstrates how students and pastors can best use it. Five passages from different parts of the New Testament are used as sample texts throughout the book in order to facilitate understanding of the differences among the interpretive strategies. / An instant classic when first published in 1995, Hearing the New Testament has now been revised and updated, including rewritten chapters, new chapters, and new suggestions for further reading.

Editorial Reviews

Ashland Theological Journal
"Guides to exegesis and exegetical methods have certainly proliferated in the last decade, but it will be much harder to offer another after Joel Green's fine volume.... An excellent exposure to the spectrum of exegetical methods and ideological criticism, easily the best on the market today."
Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"The articles are generally very well conceived and written.... Most of the essays contain current, annotated, and very helpful suggestions for further reading. This is one of the more valuable features of the collection for those who want to pursue a particular method or strategy beyond the introduction provided here."
Heythrop Journal
A useful introduction to exegetical method for those who already know a little of the art.
Interpretation
"A sophisticated introduction to the complex task of interpreting New Testament texts.... This volume is beautifully written and edited, deceptively sophisticated, and uncommonly rich in insights into biblical interpretation. Scholars and students alike will find this work an invaluable resource in learning and assessing the ways of contemporary scholars as they attempt to discern the fullest depth of meaning in the New Testament."
Journal for the Study of the New Testament
A clear and accessible place to begin and good suggestion about how one might proceed.
Religious Studies Review
Highly recommended for supplementary reading in NT classes. Its general accuracy, moderation, freedom from bias, and concision are a welcome respite from a current, confusing, all-too-prevalent blizzard of paper or bytes.
Restoration Quarterly
Readers of this collection will gain valuable insights not only into the theoretical operations of an array of current interpretive methodologies but the practical applicability of each as well. This text is an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate introductory courses to the NT. Likewise, it is must reading for ministers and Bible class teachers as a valuable aid to plumbing the depths of meaning in the NT and communicating the meanings to today's church.
Theology & Mission Currents in
The book serves well as an introduction to the various old and new ways of reading and hearing the New Testament and is to be recommended for beginning theological students and for pastors to keep up with more recent developments in the interpretation of the New Testament.
