I think Bruce would agree with you. Lo...Matt, sure. I think Bruce would agree with you. Look at the new insights produced by the likes of Donald Hagner, Morna Hooker, Robert Gundry to name but a few of Bruce's PhD students. I think one has to understand Bruce's mention of "improbable hypotheses" that multiply in the German PhD system (in the early 20th century)in its historical context.

We all feel the pressure to make to make an original contribution. I don't take "original" or "new" to mean necessarily revisionist. It might be an fresh angle or approach that complements earlier work.Matt O'Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103535339226727195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725661126161848078.post-49499443829558426062012-09-11T15:57:53.845-07:002012-09-11T15:57:53.845-07:00The remarks R.V.G Tasker, Professor of New Testame...The remarks R.V.G Tasker, Professor of New Testament exegesis at King's College, London, made about FF Bruce's famous commentaries on Acts means something here: "When we remember how much the Book of Acts has suffered at the hands of subversive radical scholars, it is certainly most refreshing to find this historicity of the book vindicated on grounds of scholarship as well as of faith".

Why is it that we run after "new" ideas when there are rock-solid truths that have stood the test of nearly 2000 years? (And then we discover that the so-called "new truths" are actually distortions that have been addressed before!Theo Groeneveldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991215323662005444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725661126161848078.post-24672697447698499642012-09-10T23:33:56.938-07:002012-09-10T23:33:56.938-07:00Goeie opmerkings Gerhard!

Het die gevoel gekry tydens my studies dat so baie al gese is, wat kan mens werklik nog nuut se? Meestal maar her-interpretasie gegewe nuwe vraagstukke voortgebring deur nuwe vestaanshorisonne.
