Recognizing the scope of change in New Testament studies
E. P. Sanders is one individual who has contributed an enormous amount to the study of the New Testament in the past 40 years—especially to the study of Paul.
A brief autobiographical essay was presented by Sanders at a conference held in his honor in April of 2003. Titled “Comparing Judaism and Christianity: An Academic Autobiography,” the paper is available online courtesy of Duke University and Mark Goodacre.
This is a worthwhile read for any student of the New Testament in that it outlines the sea of changes that have occurred throughout the 20th century which have laid the foundation for New Testament studies in the 21st.
