The Catholic Epistles research group focuses on the historical figures of James, Peter, John, and Jude along with their often-neglected letters. The research group explores the degree to which these historical figures and their writings constitute a “non-Pauline” center of gravity both historically and theologically within the New Testament and the early church and considers how a canonical reading of the Catholic Epistles influences the way we interpret and apply these letters. In 2024, we enter the second year of our three-year focus on Peter, exploring themes within the Petrine canon (i.e., 1-2 Peter, sermons in Acts, Mark, etc.) that contribute to the development of a Petrine theology.
