Sheffield school

The Sheffield school is an approach in biblical studies that engages in literary readings of the final form of the biblical text.

[1] Tremper Longman coined the term "Sheffield school" in 1987,[2] referencing the University of Sheffield, where David J.

A. Clines (associated with the University of Sheffield from 1964[3]) and David M. Gunn pioneered the approach.

The approach is also associated with the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament.
