PhD Seminar Papers

Below are copies of the manuscripts of various seminar papers submitted by students in the two doctoral seminars that I directed at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminar in the 1980s and 1990s: NT 771-772 Critical Methodology and NT 761-762 NT History. The papers typically range from about 50 to 100 pages in length. The outstanding work of these students deserves to be made available to a wider audience. Hopefully these can be of use to you as well. Check this page periodically since I'll be continually uploading new materials. Feel free to quote from them with the proper citation: Student's Name,[Paper Title], PhD seminar a paper, [page #], downloaded from Cranfordville on [date of download].To access, click on the appropritate format icon.
