Summary: | In this essay it is argued that the relationships between critical approaches in Second Testament studies are determined by prior theoretical and philosophical considerations that cause differences within approaches to precede those between approaches. Therefore, in the actual world of Second Testament critical practices, some social-scientific and literary approaches are indeed complementary and can easily be merged into an integrated approach, while other social-scientific interpretations are incompatible with literary and rhetorical interpretations and cannot be considered complementary. In the course of this argument some of the definitions of each approach currently employed in Second Testament studies are critically evaluated. |
