Description
Many scholars in Bible are interpreting the biblical text from newer interdisciplinary approaches. These disciplines, such as modern literary theory, sociology, and anthropology, have their own technical vocabulary, presuppositions, questions, and methodologies, which a biblical scholar must learn in order to appropriate these approaches for study of the biblical text. This book will introduce the student and the interested teacher to these new approaches, providing bibliography for further study in the method. Moreover, this book will actually apply the method to a particular text in the Book of Judges, so that the reader may see the method "in action".

The articles vary a lot in the amount they actually say about Judges, and when they do talk about Judges, they use different stories to make their points. This makes comparing the various methods rather difficult. I think a concluding chapter to pull the book together would ahve been useful.

said that, I do think I learned a fair amount, both about Judges and about methods of studying the Bible. Show Less
