The Author
My name is David Stark, and I am pursuing a PhD in Hermeneutics under Andreas Köstenberger at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. My main research interests are hermeneutics (especially in the Second Temple period), the New Testament’s use of Jewish scripture, Greek grammar, Pauline studies, and the discourse grammar of biblical literature. Some of my other interests include excellence in academic writing, the use of technology in the academy, pedagogical development, and theological interpretation.

The Blog
The title, “New Testament Interpretation,” is intentionally ambiguous. On the one hand, it designates thoughts about interpretive activities directed toward the New Testament. On the other hand, the phrase also includes the interpretations that the New Testament itself makes of Jewish scripture. These two issues are, of course, inseparable since interpreting the New Testament entails, at points, interpreting how the New Testament interprets Jewish scripture. In turn, both these fields of study raise various hermeneutical issues. Consequently, this blog primarily contains thoughts about New Testament interpretation (in both senses) and the hermeneutical contexts of that interpretation with some additional entries based on my other areas of interest.
