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.

More About the Author
Joel B. Green is Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Associate Dean for the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary.
Prior to his appointment at Fuller Seminary in 2007, Dr. Green was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky (1997-2007), where he also held administrative positions first as Dean of the School of Theology and then as Vice President of Academic Affairs / Provost. He has served on the faculties of the American Baptist Seminary of the West and Graduate Theological Union, and New College Berkeley, Berkeley, California, a graduate school of Christian and interdisciplinary studies for the whole people of God.
Characteristic of Professor Green's work has been a keen sense of vocation as a "bridge-builder" -- especially between the academic study of theology and the larger church and world, and between persons and institutions of dissimilar theological commitments.

This review is from: Hearing the New Testament: Strategies for Interpretation (Paperback)
Hearing the New Testament: Strategies for Interpretation belongs in any spiritual library as a basic collection by a group of scholars who illustrate different methods used in New Testament study. NT classes receive a diverse set of recommendations blending approaches ranging from historic overviews to literary criticism and newer approaches from theology. First published in 1995, this revised, updated edition has been expansively rewritten and is a pick for any Christian collection.

This review is from: Hearing the New Testament: Strategies for Interpretation (Paperback)
This book, a compilation of essays by many great scholars, needs to be on your shelf if you call yourself a New Testment exegete! All of the chapters are helpful, particularly the one on discourse analysis and the one on linguistics.Be sure to get this one!
