| Summary: | This professorial inaugural lecture takes a broad view of the discipline of New Testament Studies in order to assess the ‘state of the art’ and the future of the discipline through the lens of ‘progress’. The lecture discusses: (i) reasons for continuing to study the NT in an academic setting; (ii) reasons for focusing on the NT documents themselves, rather than other, allegedly contemporary, Christian documents or the reception of the NT through the centuries; (iii) the meaning of ‘progress’; (iv) examples of progress in NT Studies, including from a perspective which sees the NT as Christian Scripture, leading to a consideration of the nature of NT Studies as a discipline. The lecture closes with reflections on where the future of the discipline may develop. |
