Product Description:

Reading and interpreting the Bible, whether as an 'ordinary' or critical reader, has always been strongly influenced and shaped by a person's unique charater and life-story. Personal voice criticism takes seriously into account and makes explicit the role of the interpreter's personal voice within the process of deciding on the meaning of a text. This composite post-colonial volume contains the original essays of distinguished Jewish and Christian scholars of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament from all continents and a variety of social locations and biographical backgrounds. The contributors testify to the pivotal role of real readers in reader response criticism and in cultural studies and present some explicit autobiographical interpretations. They offer challenging new perspectives on the ancient biblical books and individual texts of the Torah, the prophets, the Gospels, (Pauline) letters and Revelation. The Personal Voice in Biblical Interpretation makes evident the multiplicity and legitimacy of different interpretations and break new ground in the ongoing debate of the hermeneutics and methods in biblical scholarship.
