You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

'Jo'?
I was expecting a long-winded response by a formidable NT scholar. But you gotta love the short and sweet responses sometimes.
Wow. I found the interview analogous to the Romans commentary in more ways than I anticipated...
I thought the Fitzmyer interview was surprisingly thin. I don't just mean that it was short, but that the responses were not very helpful.
I enjoyed his commentary, especially when it came to lexical study, but I thought it lacked theological imagination. Also, the outright rejection of all things NPP is silly to me. Fitzmyer ought to at least engage the great historical-critical insights of Sanders and Dunn. (I know, I know, I'm a chihuahua barking at a great dane)
In what ways, J.R. Daniel Kirk, did you find the interview analogous to the commentary?
Hey guys. If you are interested in more NPP stuff, check out my latest interview with Mark Mattison, the creator of "The Paul Page".
