The Catholic Epistles and the Tradition
This
book is a collection of papers from the JBL, (Journees Bibliques de
Louvain) of 2003. It starts with a study of Catholic epistles as
literary corpus, identified as such well before conclusion of the canon,
and posessing their own theological coherence. The majority of
contributions deal with isolated letters, including the epistles of
John. Special attention is paid to the epistle of James and the first
epistle of Peter. A man aim is to examine the--almost exclusively
pseudonymic and late--scripures from the multifaceted appearance (Old
Testament, ancient Judaism, Greco-Roman literature and philosophy,
Paulinic and pre-evangelical traditions) they took through rethinking.
The reception of the epistles in early Christian literature is another
point of interest. This book, which clearly revives the study of
longneglected documents, will be of interest not only to exegetes of the
New Testament, but also to scholars specialized in the apostolic
fathers and the fathers of the church.
I would be most grateful, sir, if this book's link might be rehabilitated, whereof in stands in need, as it does not presently work.
