This is a new introduction to the "Catholic Epistles". This book
introduces the "Epistles" and discusses the different interpretive
approaches which have been used to gain a clearer understanding of
them. An introductory chapter defines the "Epistles" and describes
the history of their canonization, following chapters are devoted
to each of the texts with each chapter including:
historical-cultural background; the social-scientific context;
social-rhetorical purposes; narrative discourse; postcolonial and
feminist insights; and, finally theological perspectives. At the
end of each chapter there are suggestions for further reading and a
list of reflection questions. Several chapters include a section or
two considering a particular interpretive issue especially relevant
to the particular text. After taking up each text, Lockett
considers again whether the "Epistles" are a unified whole or to be
heard as individual voices. Here the book interacts with some of
the ideas of Rob Wall and David Nienhuis regarding the various
thematic/theological connections running through the texts. A final
chapter takes up the relationship between the "Pauline Epistles"
and the "Catholic Epistles" within the New Testament. These guides
have been developed for those taking a course in biblical studies
in theological or ministerial education, and are designed to
introduce the reader to the various approaches to the study of the
bible. The series is ecumenical, and all the writers are
professionally engaged in the teaching of biblical studies.
