Dr. David Joy presented a paper on “Remapping the Milieu of the New Testament through Intertextual Reading.” The paper evoked interest because it took listeners into the world of intertextual reading. Dr. Joy is in the process of widening the scope of his thoughts on intertextual reading for further publication.
Both students and faculty from the UTC along with guests were present for the lecture. Dr. David Joy’s wife Mrs. Sherin Joy, a teacher herself and their sons, Ashwin and Anbin were also present.
