 Edward Caird [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
A Scottish philosopher of the latter half of the nineteenth century, Edward Caird was one of the key figures of the idealist movement that dominated British philosophy from 1870 until the mid 1920s.
Caird shows the spiritual sense of humanity as at first dominated by the object, but constrained by its own abstractions to swing around so as to fall under the sway of the subject.
In general, Caird's views on religion were importantly related to his understanding of ethics, and Caird borrows from Hegel (and Goethe) the ethical idea of self sacrifice, or 'dying to live,' which was to have an important role in the work of Bosanquet.

Caird develops his book by using a "conference method" where all the NT writers are at a table putting forth their respective views.
Caird also draws out the theology of the NT by using the theme of salvation as the "door hinge" to discuss other NT theological themes, dealing with the need of salvation, the experience of salvation, and the consummation of final salvation.
Also, Caird is constantly interpreting the key passages (e.g., Romans 7) and difficult themes (e.g., unforgiveable sin), and revealing the characteristic thought structure of the authors; all of which gives a cogency and unity to his treatment.

 TheologyBooks.com | FEATURE CONTENT : New Testament Books for Pastors and Teachers - Individual Commentaries, Part 3 ...
There is much to encourage preachers to see James as a piece of New Testament hortatory literature (the merit of Martin Dibelius' commentary in the Hermeneia series-where it is available in an English translation-is that is shows this genre clearly).
Two recent large-scale attempts to interpret James against the background of Jewish Christianity are Peter H. Davids (in NIGTC) and Sophie Laws (Harper-Black), the former placing James in the social setting of Jewish messianists in the 50s and early 60s, the latter emphasizing the possibility of a Roman origin of the tract.
James B. Adamson's volume (NICNT), which stressed Hellenistic elements in the epistle, is disappointing, and is now superseded by Davids and Laws, as Adamson's commentary in turn took the place of Alexander Ross in the NICNT series.

 Hasel, G. F. --- The "Days" of Creation in Genesis 1
The impetus for this was not found in the Bible itself but in the new world view which was being developed on the basis of uniformitarianism and its concomitant understanding of origins which demanded long periods of time.
James Barr, renowned Semitist and Old Testament scholar, notes with vengeance against flgurative interpreters that the creation "days" were six literal days of a 1 44-hour period.
This paper investigated the meaning of creation "days." It has considered key arguments in favor of a figurative, non-literal meaning of the creation "days." It found them to be wanting on the basis of genre investigation, literary considerations, grammatical study, syntactical usages, and semantic connections.
