Description
Summary:Philosophical views on the relationship between history and the social sciences play a fundamental role in defining the social scientific approach to the New Testament. Definitions of the approach are, on the one hand, determined by a supposed antithesis between history and the social sciences/sociology, and on the other hand, by an ignorance of the effects of different perspectives on the relationship between them. The development of an interdisciplinary approach encompassing history and the social sciences, provides an alternative. It consists of a different set of presuppositions and theoretical principles for defining not only historical and sociological study, but also the social-scientific approach.
