{"product_id":"authorship-of-the-catholic-epistles","title":"Authorship of the Catholic Epistles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume breathes new life into the debate surrounding the authorship of the Catholic Epistles   — commonly attributed to the brothers of Jesus and some of his closest disciples  —   through a focus  on the epistemology  of authorship. Rather than simply asking questions  about \u003ci\u003ewho\u003c\/i\u003e wrote the epistles, those who contribute to this book explore \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e   interpreters arrive at their conclusions about authenticity and   pseudonymity. These essays represent a critical assessment of the   methods,  evidence, and assumptions that inform modern dialogues on authorship in  the letters of James, 1-2 Peter, and Jude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter an analysis by Travis B. Williams, Darian R. Lockett and Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn on recent critical scholarship on the epistles, arguing that fundamental questions about language, literacy, memory, and pseudonymity have been significantly neglected by interpreters, the collection explores those queries. Beginning with the authors'' education, literacy and proficiency in various languages, the contributors then assess their role as eye witnesses to the events of the Gospels and the aspects of individual or collective memory. Moving on to an extensive analysis of the identity and authenticity of the authors, this collection finally concludes by considering whether these essays move readers closer toward a solution of the authorship question.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499142652277,"sku":"9780567717856","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780567717856.jpg?v=1786694456","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/authorship-of-the-catholic-epistles","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
