Perspectives on the New Testament : essays in honor of Frank Stagg
Professor Stagg's life and his many contributions to New Testament scholarship are surveyed by a former student and colleague, Malcolm Tolbert. Roger Omanson documents Professor Stagg's voluminous publications in a comprehensive bibliography. Daryl Schmidt of Texas Christian University applies contemporary linguistic theory to the study of Hellenistic Greek grammar. George E. Rice of Andrews University compares readings of the synoptic gospels in Codex Bezae to assess the extent of theological bias in that manuscript. Hendrikus Boers of Emory University investigates some polarities at the roots of New Testament thought. Robin Scroggs of Chicago Theological Seminary asks how the ethical claims of the New Testament can be interpreted in today's world. Charles Talbert of Wake Forest University concludes the volume with an exegesis of 1 Corinthians 12-14, seeking to determine Paul's understanding of the Holy Spirit.
