Norman Perrin
Theologian
Professor Norman Perrin was a New Testament Theologian at the University of Chicago Divinity School, at Swift Hall. Dr. Perrin is a most eminent scholar on the New Testament. I have read a lot of his work, including his “Rediscovering the Teaching of Jesus”, which is a masterpiece and I always refer to it. He is was one of the best Theologians at the university, because his books were good. His research on Jesus is good, because he looks at the facts.
In this great work Dr. Perrin has shown that with proper understanding of the Synoptic Gospels, we are to realize that all of the material that are shown as the words of Jesus, are really later Church additions. All of what Jesus really said could be fit on an index card.
The thing that I so appreciate about Norman Perrin is his scholarly and clear approach to the New Testament. He does not come to it wish a lot of “baggage” that is so apparent in other Theologians. Norman Perrin is very down to earth and goes right to the issues at hand, and solves them.
