This accessible series will focus on the final form of each New Testament book, attending to historical setting, canonical context, and contemporary hermeneutical concerns. Authored by a diverse team of illustrious scholars, Paideia commentaries will add fresh insight to consensus scholarship, focusing especially on how these theological texts use narrative and rhetorical strategies from the ancient educational world to form and shape the reader. Aimed squarely at university and seminary students, this series will be eminently useful for preachers and professors. Each Paideia commentary divides its biblical text into sense units. For each unit, the author discusses introductory issues, explicates the train of argument or narrative, and pulls out major hermeneutical and theological questions for additional attention. The main text is judiciously supplemented with maps, sidebars, and photographs. Reference lists and indexes help the reader locate discussions in the commentary and in other available scholarly literature.
