for session 2 (24 September)...

Well done surviving the first session! Hopefully it gave you some things to think about.

For our next session, you need to read Klein, Blomberg and Hubbard, chapter 1 and the first half of chapter 2, pg. 23-45.

Some questions for you to think about during your reading:

  • How do the author, the text, and the reader all contibute to the meaning of a text (pg. 8-13)?
  • What are Hellenistic Judaism and Rabbinic Judaism (25-31)?
  • What were some of the main methods of interpretation used in the patristic period (pg. 34-40)?
  • What were the 'four senses of Scripture' in the middle ages (42-45)?

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Feel free to leave a note in the comments here, drop me an email, or drop into the office.
