I listened to the first episode of this class which Judy Stack-Nelson posted a link to. The audio is clear and the guy is witty and it sounds like the class will be good. Yale must have a week or so they call the ”shopping week” because he mentions that if you decide to take the class after the shopping week, he will see you next week. So students must have the ability to drop in on classes they might be interested in taking. Him talking about the syllabus and the tests and papers takes me back to the day. <\/p>\n
Judy Stack-Nelson I”ve listened to the whole first lecture and pieces of others. He really does a good job with the historical context stuff, but I will have to see what I think about his actual interpretation. And of course as he says, his approach is to look at the likely history of early Christian thought and try to figure out “what really happened.” That is not my approach. I think it is far too speculative an enterprise. My approach is more theological- rhetorical or theological-literary–looking at the texts to try to understand how they are constructing an argument or trying to convince the reader of certain ideas about the nature of God, humanity, Jesus, the life of the church, etc. That means I do end up doing a fair bit comparison–his idea of looking at the diversity rather than trying to construct a theological unity out of all the books–and thus teasing apart the various perspectives. <\/p>\n
For me as a prof, though, it is nice to see that he isn”t completely polished and flowing all the time. He has to look at his notes, etc. Good to know even top profs can be like that. <\/p>\n

Steve Ranney Yes from what I know that is a more comprehensive approach. Otherwise you just leave the pieces of the watch on the table. It”s interesting and worthwhile to look at the development of the text but, given the text as it stands, I want to read and understand it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
