Donfried at Amherst College

So my information tells me that Karl Paul Donfried will be a guest lecturer at Amherst College this Fall and will be teaching a course on Paul. Interesting and something those of you who are undergrads may want to check out....

Karl Donfried, Elizabeth A. Woodson Professor Professor of Religion/Biblical Literature
B.A. (1960) Columbia; B.D. (1963) Harvard Divinity School; S.T.M. (1965) Union Theological Seminary; Th.D. (1968) University of Heidelberg

Karl Donfried, recently retired, has taught at Smith College since 1968. He has been visiting professor at Amherst College, Brown, Yale, Hebrew University, and the University of Hamburg and Geneva. His research interests include Paul, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the relationship between early Christianity and the Judaisms of the Second Temple Period. His current research projects continue to center around 1 Thessalonians as well as Paul chronology and theology. Of particular interest is the relationship of Paul to the Judaisms of the Second Temple Period. Specific emphasis is given to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the role they play for a new understanding of both Judaism and Christianity, and their interaction with each other, in this period. In addition, he is involved with a project on the interpretation of the New Testament and its meaning/s for the contemporary Church.
