Comment on Principles versus rules by Steve Runge

Davis,
I have not read “Three Views…” but it looks like a great resource. My previous post on Mt 5:13 was what spurred this post, providing what I would consider a specific example.

Are you willing to give an example of a place where principles are more followed like rigid rules in the synoptic problem?

And have you read Three Views on the Origins of the Synoptic Gospels? If, so what did you think?

Helgi, I have appreciated Mark Goodacre's work for several reasons. First, he takes the time to explain the nature of the problem before moving on to present the solutions. Second, his solutions is very much in line with my naive resolution that I have operated under. I had known something of the problems, had seen a way through, but had never formally looked into the matters until the in the last six months. In doing so, I learned that there is actually a name to the path I was following, and Goodacre is out ahead of me. Finally, he has developed some really great, accessible resources, ranging from his books to the podcasts available through his NT Pod, http://podacre.blogspot.com/. The more recent longer ones are actual lectures from Duke. It has been great to hear how he facilitates discussion and uses humor as a professor, lots to learn from him. Recommended read: The Synoptic Problem: A Way Through The Maze (Understanding the Bible and Its World)

Have you got any recommended reading for those of us interested in becoming more familiar with the synoptic problem?

I expect there will be a bit more depth but it will cover much the same ground. I would like to spend the time devoted to discussion of assignments to discussing the verbal system in light of the rest of the overall framework. We will be breaking it over a weekend with a picnic Saturday, so there should be more time for general dialogue than at Knox.

Much the same as the DMin class? Or should we expect some differences?

Craig, It will be open to anyone with at least a year of Greek under their belt. If you can follow my posts and make sense of the Discourse Grammar excerpt, you should be fine. I taught this as a DMin course last year, and the attendees left with the rough exegesis completed for a sermon series on their corpus. It is very practically oriented, which you’d probably know to expect by now.

Look like the dates will be June 3-9, 2010. There will be a registration page up soon with the details.

Steve,
I would definitely be interested in the workshop, but do you want just professors or is it open to us preachers too? What level of Greek knowledge would be prerequisite? Craig
