The Sheffield school is an approach in biblical studies that engages in literary readings of the final form of the biblical text.[1] It is named after the University of Sheffield, where David J. A. Clines and David M. Gunn pioneered the approach. The phrase was coined by Tremper Longman in 1987.[2]
The approach is also associated with the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament.[2][3] The Sheffield school is known for its use of formalism.[3]
