Need Help with Research on Paul and Suffering

Currently in my thesis research I am looking at Paul’s perspective on and theology of suffering. I was hoping any of you out there could offer bibliographic items that are seminal or highly recommended on this. What I have been working with so far is:
Jervis, L.A. At the Heart of the Gospel (2007).
Gorman, [...]

Newly Posted Paper Abstracts for Upcoming British NT Conference

On ntgateway.com/bnts, more paper abstracts have appeared from the various seminar groups.  I will highlight a few:

Given the historical likelihood that Jesus of Nazareth was believed by many of his contemporaries to have been a successful healer, how did he effect such cures? It has become [...]

Tyndale Fellowship NT Conference (Summary and Review)

This year’s NT study group for the Tyndale Fellowship (Cambridge) recently ended and it was a delightful time in an intimate setting with a good mixture of research students, scholars, and other interested parties.

Most (in fact almost all) seminary students cannot afford to buy several commentaries, so I have seen people like Don [...]

Evoking Scripture: An Interview with Steve Moyise

Is Jimmy Dunn an ‘evangelical’??

I came across an interesting ’scholar profile’ in Epworth Review (2000) of James D G Dunn (written by friend Graham Stanton). One of the things Stanton briefly discussed is Dunn’s relationship with evangelicals. He asked Dunn if he is an evangelical. Dunn neither denied being one nor claimed the title. Dunn, [...]

Evoking Scripture (by Steve Moyise): A Book Review

 

One of my top interests in New Testament research is how the New Testament relates to the Old Testament.  In this area of scholarship, one tends to think of scholars such as Richard Hays, Greg Beale, A.T. Hanson, Richard Longenecker, Scott Hafemann, James Dunn, and C.H. Dodd.  Well, one who should be more recognized as [...]
