Biblical Interpretation

To Each Its Own Meaning:
An Introduction to Biblical Criticisms and Their Application
Editors Steven McKenzie and Stephen Haynes

This excellent volume introduces readers to some of the major methods of biblical criticism in use today. The biblical criticisms presented in this book are historical, source, tradition-historical, form, redaction, social-scientific, canonical, rhetorical, structural, narrative, reader-response, poststructuralist and feminist. Each method is defined with respect to its history, development and relationship to the text and is applied to a biblical passage from either Genesis or Luke-Acts. There are also suggestions for further reading. The editors have ensured that the scholars chosen represent a balanced cross-section of the field of biblical criticism. This book is one of the most important resources that I have discovered in present biblical studies. more...
