Rather than reading the Catholic Epistles in isolation from each
other - understanding their individual historical situations as the
single, determinative context for their interpretation - this study
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
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 one can discern a collection
consciousness within the Catholic Epistles such that they should be
read and interpreted as an intentional, discrete canonical
sub-collection set within the New Testament. Furthermore, the work
argues that such collection consciousness, though not necessarily
in the preview of the original authors (being perhaps unforeseen,
yet not unintended), is neither anachronistic to the meaning of the
letters nor antagonistic to their composition.
