Our brand of New Testament studies at Oxford is characterised by three shared emphases:
The interdependence of history with theology in the critical understanding of a text whose historical and cultural footprint is above all as Christian scripture
The Jewish religious and practical context of Christian origins
The New Testament’s hermeneutically important footprint in the first two centuries of its reception
