I'd especially love to see a thesis on #8. There's some good historical work on this — e.g., the interconnections between philosophies of history and histories of Jesus in 18th-century German thought.
#4 also sounds interesting, although it might have to be a 12-volume work...
What about "Michael Bird: Conservationist or Innovator?"
And, "Michael Bird and the Impact of Academic Blogging on Popular Religious Culture"?
I'd love to do / see more on #4 -- from my perspective this is a pressing issue for evangelical theology in today's world, in light of developments in evolutionary biology and psychology. What would be your take in a nutshell?
Dopderbeck,
I would not have the foggiest idea where to begin, although Joel Green and Karl Popper would be a good place to start.
To Daniel's comment I add,
"Flipping the Bird: Contesting Michael Bird's Creative Conservatism"
"Marginalizing the Sons of Edom? Justice in the Academy for Red-heads"
"Hot-heads: A Red-headed Reading of Wrath and Judgment in the NT"
"Brown out: a red-head responds to brunette and blonde hegemony in NT Studies"
JB: Thanks for backing my play. Now we're getting somewhere!
Karl Popper?
Joel, I wanted to know which Epistles of Ignatius for #3 did you have in mind? Long Greek, Short Greek, Syriac, or what?
