ReplyDeleteIt has the advantage of taking place in the context of debate.
ReplyDeleteCarson's original article was 'The Purpose of the Fourth Gospel: John 20:30–31 Reconsidered', JBL 106 (1987) 639–51. Fee responded in 'On the Text and Meaning of John 20,30–31', in The Four Gospels 1992: Festschrift Frans Neirynck (ed. F. van Segbroeck et al.; BETL 100; Leuven: University Press, 1992) 2193–2205, repr. in Fee's To What End Exegesis? Essays Textual, Exegetical, and Theological (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2001).
If you want to know more, you'll have to get a copy of JBL from downstairs.
Somehow our JBLs are not arriving very promptly at the moment.
ReplyDeleteGo to the SBL web site (www.sbl-site.org), log in as a member and go to publications, then journals and then jbl and you can download all the articles in the present issue - and lots of past ones - in pdf.
ReplyDeleteI don't know of you other SBL members, but I get an e-mail anouncement from SBL of the new issue of JBL with a list of contents, and then just click on the title of interest and the download is executed... very convenient.
