Dow Edgerton Format: Paperback Vendor: Westminster John Knox Press Publication Date: 1992 Dimensions: 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 (inches) | Weight: 7 ounces ISBN: 0664253946 ISBN-13: 9780664253943 Series: Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation Stock No: WW25394 |
In this book, W. Dow Edgerton reviews narratives from the Bible, the Talmud, Greek mythology, and modern fiction in order to provide a better understanding of the nature and work of interpretation. Disclosed are rich, complex, and compelling possibilities for imagining the work of interpretation and what it means to do that work in a time when so much is needed and so much is possible.
The Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation series explores current trends within the discipline of biblical interpretation by dealing with the literary qualities of the Bible: the play of its language, the coherence of its final form, and the relationships between text and readers. Biblical interpreters are being challenged to take responsibility for the theological, social, and ethical implications of their readings. This series encourages original readings that breach the confines of traditional biblical criticism.
