Scholars Reading Romans 1 with Daniel Patte: Critique, Dialogue, and Pedagogy
A creative collection of essays that introduces, critiques, and dialogues with Daniel Patte's ground-breaking work Three Exegetical Interpretations and the History of Volume 1: Romans 1:1-32 (T&T Clark, 2018) . Nine scholars from different cultural and methodological perspectives engage with Patte's work, critique his methodology and ethic of interpretation, and develop alternative readings.
The first part introduces the format of Patte's book and the three historical forensic, covenantal, and realized-apocalyptic. Part two debates methodology and ethical responsibility. The third part focuses on Romans 1:16-18 and 1:26-27 and includes a Confucian Chinese reading and a call for joint biblical and social-science research on the role of Romans in current public policy debates. The final part includes a chapter on pedagogy regarding how Patte's book can be used in the classroom. The final chapter is a powerful description by Patte himself of the various life experiences that shaped his reading of Romans. This book is a critical and communal conversation with Patte on the history of reception of Romans 1 and an example of the necessity of conversations among diverse interpreters that, as Patte says, “reflect the diversity of the modes of our human experience”.
