Survey explores pedagogical uses of Pauline studies data, indicating future educational enhancements.
In late 2024, over 150 people participated in an online survey that collected their opinions on a variety of issues pertaining to the apostle Paul and the corpus of New Testament texts that bear his name. This essay recounts aspects of that survey’s origins, its intended pedagogical purposes, and the demographics of its participants. It offers overviews of five issues that illustrate the utility of the survey’s data. Noting some of the weaknesses of the project, this essay also imagines what might be needed to take initiatives of this kind to the next level for purposes of pedagogy and in assessing the sociology of knowledge within the guild of Pauline studies.
