Beardslee, William A. Margins of Belonging:  Essays on the New Testament and Theology.  Atlanta, GA: Scholars Press, 1991.

Abstract

This work records William A. Beardslee's engagement, for more than three decades, with the interpretation of the New Testament. Gathered from a variety of journals and previous publications, these essays demonstrate how Beardslee's appropriation of Whiteheadian or process categories to the tasks of the New Testament interpreter enabled him to see the contemporary world and its problems through the eyes of the New Testament. Offering an alternative to an either/or choice between theology and biblical interpretation, between deconstruction and a rigid adherence to an unrecoverable past, these essays present a lively and provocative challenge to students of process theology and the literary criticism of the New Testament alike.
