Abstract

"This collection of essays, inspired by Heikki Räisänen's Beyond New Testament Theology, originated in tthe "Whence and Whither? Methodology and the Future of Biblical Studies" session at the Society of Biblical Literature International Meeting in Rome (July, 2001). The present volume includes not only contributions from 16 well-known scholars from North America and Europe, but also a response article by Heikki Räisänen. As a whole, the collection attests to the importance of issues raised by Räisänen and, above all, further promotes his dedication to conversation, dialogue, and encounter between diverse views and perspectives."--Publisher's description.
