Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This project is extremely worthwhile and deserves publication .... " ― William Gregory Carey, Lancaster Theological Seminary

"I regard the Proposed text to be innovative and attractive." ― Pamela J. Milne, University of Windsor

"Overall, I find this to be a very interesting project. I think Scholz's approach to the study of the Hebrew Bible is what most of us try to do in survey courses but have to struggle to find a good compendium of articles with which to do it. Having this type of collection ready in one volume for my students to order would make my life much easier ....In short, if I were you, I would publish this book." ― Beth LaRocca Pitts, Duke Divinity School

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Susanne Scholz brings together scholarly research and discussions of the meaning of the Bible today. It breaks with the conventional historical approach to the Bible and teaches students to read biblical texts in light of their multiple, indeterminate, and infinite meanings, illuminating the dynamics between the Bible, readers, and the world. This anthology invites students to view the study of the Bible as an important contribution to our understanding of past and present culture, politics and religion.
