Speech Acts and Scripture

In the morning we're going to discuss Speech Act Theory & Scripture in the post-graduate seminar.

If you're really interested in this stuff, here are some Word documents:

My draft / work in progress (about 7000 words) on Speech Acts and Scripture.

And a bibliography on Speech Acts (Theology, Scripture etc.)

These are part of my research project on Scripture and the Lord Supper, which this old doucument introduces.

The stuff on speech acts and Scripture is intended to follow on from a statement of a standard Reformed Evangelical doctrine of Scripture as taught by Warfield. There's a section on semiotics underway and then I'm going to attempt a speech act and semiotic account of the Supper. d.v.

Thanks for this morning! On a related but different matter: you may be interested in this response to Jordan's "Why I am not an Anglican" which is mainly about liturgy http://www.reformedcatholicism.com/?p=1095
