Latest Neotestamentica (46.1, 2012) – lots of good stuff!

I have been on a blogging hiatus because I am in the middle of a cross-country move from Seattle to Philadelphia (we have driven 40+ miles already, 10-15 more to go!). I won’t be posting regularly until the end of July, but I wanted to check in and make mention of the latest issue of the South African journal, Neotestamentica (46.1 2012). Lots of good stuff in this issue. It also includes my article on Romans 1, if you are interested. Below is the TOC. I am particularly interested in the articles by Ehrensperger and Parsons/Gorman.
