Title: Good Redaction Criticism
Review: Norman Perrin is a well-respected New Testament critic for good reason. Perrin provides first-rate redaction criticism of the resurrection narratives in the synoptic gospels that sheds light on the purposes of the authors and the meaning of the myths. Perrin stresses that the importance of the resurrection stories does not lie in their literal, historical accuracy. Apart from Perrin's idea that Mark refers to the parousia instead of an appearance in 16:7, I found nothing in it to be disagreeable. Although conservative Christians will not appreciate Perrin's insight, liberal Christians should find that this book enriches an understanding of their faith. Secular students of the New Testament, such as myself, will find Perrin to be a good source for sound observations on the texts.
