Description

The Living Word by James D G Dunn explores the dialogue between biblical interpretation and the texts themselves. Professor Dunn examines how this dialogue was already present within the New Testament, particularly in its oral tradition and the use of pseudonyms. He also discusses the importance of understanding the Gospels as part of this tradition, and addresses the question of why New Testament books were written under assumed names. Two earlier essays by the author are included in the appendices, providing further insight into his ideas on the authority of Scripture according to Scripture and levels of canonical authority. This collection offers a valuable exposition of the theme, shedding new light on the interpretation of the New Testament.
