Challenges to Biblical Interpretation: Collected Essays 1991-2001

The book offers a selection of the author's seminal recent articles, focusing on Jesus, Paul, and questions of principle. It contributes to the Jesus quest by questioning the authenticity of some sayings and stories usually counted to the "bedrock" of the tradition. It analyses the ambiguous relationship of early Christians, especially Paul, to their Jewish heritage. It suggests new ways of handling fundamental questions of principle in biblical interpretation.
The book is likely to stimulate thought and discussion, challenging widely held views. The author reflects on the use of New Testament in responsible modern theology, defending classical historical criticism against recent challenges. The emphasis put on the role of experience in the formation of early Christian thought and on the significance of the "effective history" of the Bible is especially helpful.
