Congratulations to Chuck Hill on the publication his Festschrift! The book is Studies on the Intersection of Text, Paratext, and Reception edited by Gregory R. Lanier and J. Nicholas Reid (both colleagues of his at RTS). Don’t miss the interview we did with Chuck back in 2016 (part 1 and part 2). Here’s a bit more on Greg Lanier’s blog on the presentation for Chuck today.
Description
Studies on the Intersection of Text, Paratext, and Reception brings together thirteen contributions from leading scholars in the fields of textual criticism, manuscript/paratextual research, and reception history. These fields have tended to operate in isolation, but recent years have seen a rise in valuable research being done at their multiple points of intersection. The contributors to this volume show the potential of such crossover work through, for example, exploring how paratextual features of papyri and minuscules give insight into their text; probing how scribal behaviors illumine textual transmission/restoration, and examining how colometry, inner-biblical references, and early church reading cultures may contribute to understanding canon formation. These essays reflect the contours of the scholarship of Dr. Charles E. Hill, to whom the volume is dedicated.Table of Contents

Most impressive array of contributors to this FS! And it's well deserved! Congrats, Chuck!
ReplyDeleteYeah, tooooo many Peters for my taste...and besides, one of them is a real bone HEAD I hear!
DeleteThanks so much Dan! Yes, an outstanding group of scholars making real contributions to several interrelated fields.
DeleteAbout half of the contributors to the FS have also contributed to ETC. I'm guessing Chuck Hill is also an evangelical scholar.
