The last two contributions argue that there are later interpolations in the extant letters of Paul. “Rather than positing a disjunction between the letters being Pauline or not, they contend that criteria can be found by which it is possible to discuss individual interpolations within each of the letters” (3). The late J. C. O’Neill argues that “Paul Wrote Some of All, but not All of Any” (169- 88). W. O. Walker examines “Interpolations in the Pauline Letters” (189-235). Walker distinguishes text-critical evidence, contextual evidence, linguistic and ideational, situational and comparative, motivational and locational evidence for interpolations and uses 1 Corinthians 14:34f as a test-case as it exhibits all eight of the possible types of evidence for interpolation. Walker emphasizes that “any case for interpolation must be based upon the convergence of different lines of evidence, and conclusions must be qualified in light of the consistency and strength of the evidence (235). The stimulating and well produced volume closes with an index of ancient sources and of modern authors (237-54). Some issues related to the question of the Pauline canon and the authenticity of its letters are not or not sufficiently addressed: what are legitimate criteria for assessing authenticity? How convincing are arguments based on such a vague category as style? What influence did the secretaries and co-workers of Paul have on his letters? Does their influence account for some of the notice- able differences? Can different vocabulary and style in part be accounted for by traditions on which Paul drew? What differences may one expect between letters addressed to a community and letters addressed to individuals? Are any of Paul’s letters addressed to individuals only? Christoph Stenschke Randolph W.

ISBN 1- 56563-515-9, 30 USD, Tate has used the Handbook of Literature (Prentice-Hall), now in its eighth edition, as a model for the present volume, which is “essentially an extended glossary of the terminology currently used in interpreting the Bible. More specifically, it focuses on the vocabularies of the various interpretive methods that biblical scholars use in speaking about biblical texts. Covered therein are approximately fifty methods, both old and new, ranging from source criti- cism to social-scientific criticism to deconstruction” (Preface). As “presently nothing is available that is as comprehensive or accessible as this work” (a disputable claim!), Tate worked his way through scholarly works in order “to do the sifting and then to condense the material into manageable synopses that
