Religion:Sheffield school
From HandWiki
The Sheffield school is an approach in biblical studies that engages in literary readings of the final form of the biblical text.[1]
History
Tremper Longman coined the term "Sheffield school" in 1987,[2] referencing the University of Sheffield, where David J. A. Clines (associated with the University of Sheffield from 1964[3]) and David M. Gunn pioneered the approach.
The approach is also associated with the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament.[2][4] The Sheffield school is known for its use of formalism.[4]
