Warren Carter, Professor of New Testament at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth will present a seminar on the Gospels titled, “It Means? All Sorts of Things!”
This seminar will look at some different ways in which New Testament passages have been interpreted across the last two millennia in different contexts. We will look at a number of NT scenes that have “travelled” across the millennia to new and different situations to see how people have made meaning of them to address different circumstances across the centuries. This approach, commonly called “Reception history” or a “history of effects” approach, suggests that the meaning we make of biblical texts is not fixed in the texts themselves but is created at particular cultural-personal moments in the interaction between interpreters and texts.
