Silhouettes of Scripture: Considering the Contextual Approach with Form Criticism

Silhouettes of Scripture: Considering the Contextual Approach with Form-criticism explores the natural affinities between contextual and form-critical methodologies, using case studies to re-focus these affinities and define how contextual studies could proceed. It navigates between parallel-o-mania and parallel-anonia to consider similarities and differences in broad and narrow convergences, seeking to establish new trajectories.

Contextual approach and form criticism are two well-established methodologies in Biblical Studies, but their natural affinities have historically gone under-appreciated. However, recent reconsideration of classic tenets of form-criticism has further separated these two like-minded methods. Silhouettes of Scripture: Considering the Contextual Approach with Form-criticism aims to re-focus natural affinities and more precisely define how contextual studies could proceed. Initiated by a literary trigger, Schreiner and Hollands method navigates between parallel-o-mania and parallel-anonia to consider a range of similarities and differences in terms of broad and narrow convergences. The result is a work that looks upon well-known parallels with fresh eyes and seeks to establish new trajectories.
