Summary:Robert W. Funk, professor of New Testament, former Executive Secretary of the Society of Biblical Literature, and founder of Scholar's Press and the Jesus Seminar, was one of the most gifted, controversial figures in modern biblical scholarship. This volume includes nineteen of Funk's essays, correspondences, interviews, and administrative papers pertaining to the Society of Biblical Literature and Scholars Press. Colleagues share reflections of the life and contributions of Funk to the study of Greek grammar, hermeneutics, parables, the historical Jesus, the Jesus Seminar, and the academy and publications. The book examines changes that Funk advocated to scholarly societies and to scholarly research, includes a number of Funk's previously unpublished writings, and offers a brief biography of this influential scholar. This collection is a critical resource for scholars and students interested in the evolution of biblical studies in the United States and changes in the field of New Testament studies, especially in the field of historical Jesus research.
