The Black-Best Scholarships in New Testament / Christian Origins
The School of Divinity, University of St Andrews, Scotland
The School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews intends to offer up
to two doctoral scholarships in New Testament / Christian origins.
Outstanding students with stimulating thesis proposals are encouraged to
apply.
The scholarships are offered in memory of Matthew Black and Ernest Best, who
are cherished for their longstanding service to the University of St
Andrews.
Each scholarship will provide full funding for tuition for the duration of
the three-year doctoral program. The Matthew Black scholarship will provide
an additional �2000 per annum to cover further expenses.
The School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews is a thriving
theological community, with over 80 students working at masters and doctoral
levels in the fields of biblical studies, systematic theology, ethics and
practical theology, theology and the arts, and Jewish studies. Residential
doctoral students are provided with their own research desks in a fully
furnished postgraduate building (the Roundel). The library offers
substantial holdings in NT and Christian origins, and further resources are
made readily available to students. Research seminars are offered in four
fields of study.
The successful Scholarship applicants will work under the supervision of one
of the following scholars who make up the NT / Christian origins team at St
Andrews:
Professor Richard Bauckham, with interests in NT Christology, Gospel of
John, early Jewish context of the NT, Gospel origins / audience, and NT
theology.
Professor Philip Esler, with interests in social-scientific approaches to
the NT, Paul, early Christian identity, the Bible and art, and NT theology.
Professor Ron Piper, with interests in the Gospels, Q, the historical Jesus,
wisdom traditions in the NT, and social-scientific approaches to the New
Testament.
Dr Bruce Longenecker, with interests in Paul, ancient rhetoric and the NT,
social concern in early Christianity, the imperial order and the NT, and
Luke-Acts.
Dr Jim Davila, with interests in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Jewish context of
Christian origins, and Christian transmission of Jewish literature.
Applications for the Black-Best Scholarships must be received by 4 January
2005, and the scholarships are expected to commence as of September 2005.
Applications for entry to the New Testament PhD programme that are received
from within the European Community will automatically be considered for the
Black-Best scholarships. Applications for entry to the New Testament PhD
programme that are received from outside of the European Community will not
be considered for the Black-Best scholarships unless they are accompanied by
an application for Overseas Research Students (ORS) funding. For application
forms and information regarding ORS funding forms, please contact Margot
