Description
Summary:Indicating that Colossians and Ephesians need a sustained study according to canonical-critical method, Porter-Clarke propose to define and apply to these two letters a workable model of what they have called a canonical-critical perspective. After study of canonical criticism today and of certain problems this criticism faces, Porter-Clarke explain their choice of the word "perspective" and describe on going difficulties the method must meet. The canonical-critical perspective then studies three problems: the authorship of the letters, the prescript of Ephesians and the literary relationship between the two letters. There follows a relating of canonical to historical criticism.
