Postmodern Bible

This book is at once an accessible guide to and an engagement with various methods, theories, and critical practices transforming biblical scholarship today. Written by a collective of cutting-edge scholars, the book introduces, illustrates, and critiques seven prominent strategies of reading: rhetorical criticism, narratology, reader-response criticism, feminist criticism, ideological criticism, poststructuralism, and psychoanalytic criticism. Zusammenfassung Focusing on readings from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, this text intends to illuminate the multidisciplinary debates emerging from postmodernism by exposing the epistemological, political and ethical positions in the field of biblical studies.
