Document Details : Title: Canonical-Critical Perspective and the Relationship of Colossians and Ephesians Author(s): PORTER, Stanley E. , CLARKE, Kent D. Journal: Biblica Volume: 78 Issue: 1 Date: 1997 Pages: 57-86 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.78.1.3212083 Abstract : Indicating that Colossians and Ephesians need a sustained study according to canonical-critical method, Porter-Clarke propose to define and apply to these two letters a workable model of what they have called a canonical-critical perspective. After study of canonical criticism today and of certain problems this criticism faces, Porter-Clarke explain their choice of the word 'perspective' and describe ongoing difficulties the method must meet. The canonical-critical perspective then studies three problems: the authorship of the letters, the prescript of Ephesians and the literary relationship between the two letters. There follows a relating of canonical to historical criticism. |
