SOCIO-HISTORICAL METHOD
IN NEW TESTAMENT

INTERPRETATION (3 units)
Fernando Macalinao, SJ
Th 2:00 - 4:40 pm

The elective course, Socio-Historical Method in New Testament Interpretation, can be viewed as contextual exegesis and theologizing. It is both theoretical and practical in approach. Theoretically, it presents a way of understanding some Markan texts that emerged from the concrete situation of Mark's community, using the models in the social sciences (cultural anthropology, sociology, psychology). Practically, it introduces some attempts at contextual theologizing of some Filipino theologians (Jose de Mesa, Leonardo Mercado, Dionisio Miranda, etc.) The overall aim is to open an avenue through which LST students can exercise contextual exegesis and eventually eisegesis based on the realities in Filipino culture (kapwa, malasakit, awa, kagandahang-loob, tiwala, pananalig, tanda, etc.)
