The craft of history and the study of the New Testament / Beth M. Sheppard.

• A meeting of two disciplines -- Theoretical underpinnings -- Basic philosophical matters -- Stumbling blocks in histories -- Emergence of a discipline : methods from antiquity to the modern era -- History blossoms : the modern era to the mid-twentieth century -- New lenses for history : the late twentieth century to present -- Counting sheep : clothing and textiles in Luke's Gospel -- A scarlet woman? : John 4 -- Drinking the Spirit : ancient medicine and Paul's Corinth.

• "Do professional historians and New Testament scholars use the same methods to explore the past? This interdisciplinary textbook introduces students of the New Testament to the vocabulary and methods employed by historians. It discusses various approaches to historiography and demonstrates their applicability for interpreting the New Testament text and exploring its background. Overviews of the philosophy of history, common historical fallacies, and the basics of historiography are followed by three exegetical studies that illustrate the applicability of various historical methods for New Testament interpretation."--Publisher's description.
