Synopsis: A Marginal Scribe collects eight studies written over a
period of two decades, all of which use social-scientific criticism
to interpret the Gospel of Matthew. It prefaces them, first, with a
new chapter on the struggle between historians and social
scientists since the Enlightenment and its parallel in New
Testament studies, which culminated in the emergence of
social-scientific criticism; and, second, with a new chapter on
recent social-scientific interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew.
The eight, more specialized studies cover a variety of themes and
use a variety of models but concentrate and are held together by
those that illumine social ranking and marginality. The book closes
with a chapter that ties together these studies. Endorsements:
