This volume brings together thirteen papers given during a series of panels on class analysis held at the 2016 and 2017 annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature [SBL], along with four additional studies. The editors have divided the collection into five sections, each covering a particular genre of early Christian literature: the Pauline tradition, the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John and Acts, Apocalyptic, and Patristics. This arrangement mirrors the organization of the panels from which the contributions were drawn—the only exceptions being the sections on John and Patristics, which were not originally panels. The number of chapters for each section varies—with the section on John and Acts containing a standalone essay. All sections, except for the chapter on John and Acts, end with a response commenting on the themes of the chapters and offering future possibilities presented by each paper. These response papers are by leading scholars in the discipline and they succeed, for the most part, in fulfilling the incredibly difficult task of synthesizing as many as four complicated arguments while adding important insights of their own.
