Synopsis "Letters from the Pillar Apostles: The Formation of the Catholic Epistles as a Canonical Collection (Paperback) (in English)"
Rather than reading the Catholic Epistles in isolation, understanding the individual historical situation of each letter as the single, determinative context for their interpretation, Letters from the Pillar Apostles argues that a proper understanding of these seven letters must equally attend to their collection and placement within the New Testament canon. Resisting the judgment of much of the historical-critical analysis of the New Testament, namely that the concept of canon actually obscures the meaning of these texts, it is the canonical process by which the texts were composed, redacted, collected, arranged, and fixed in a final canonical form that constitutes a necessary interpretive context for these seven letters. This study argues that, through reception history and paratextual and compositional evidence, it is possible to discern a ‘collection consciousness’ within the Catholic Epistles; as such, they should be read and interpreted as an intentional, discrete canonical sub-collection of texts within the New Testament. Furthermore, such ‘collection consciousness’ is neither anachronistic to the meaning of the letters nor antagonistic to their composition but provides new depths of interpretation, astutely presented in Letters from the Pillar Apostles.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsAbbreviationsIntroduction—Reading the Catholic Epistles as a Collection: A Proposal1 Approaches to the Catholic Epistles as a Canonical Collection:A Status Quaestionis2 A ssumptions and Methodology3 Development and Canonization of the Catholic Epistles4 Paratextual Evidence of Collection Consciousnessin the Catholic Epistles5 Compositional Evidence of Collection Consciousness:Tradition and Catchwords in the Catholic Epistles6 Compositional Evidence of Collection Consciousness:Framing Devices and Themes in the Catholic Epistles7 Conclusion: Hermeneutics of Reading the Catholic Epistlesas a Coherent CollectionBibliographyIndex
