This paper argues that attention for the biographical, ideological, and cultural diversity, as it is present in a typical New Testament class room, can be very productive, especially when paying attention to the intercultural hermeneutics involved. In fact, this approach leads to new scholarly insights, also of a historical nature, and may well be more viable and even more productive than a supposedly ‘neutral’ approach.
