Book description

This Cambridge Companion offers an up-to-date and accessible guide to the fast-changing discipline of biblical studies. Written by scholars from diverse backgrounds and religious commitments – many of whom are pioneers in their respective fields – the volume covers a range of contemporary scholarly methods and interpretive frameworks. The volume reflects the diversity and globalized character of biblical interpretation in which neat boundaries between author-focused, text-focused, and reader-focused approaches are blurred. The significant space devoted to the reception of the Bible – in art, literature, liturgy, and religious practice – also blurs the distinction between professional and popular biblical interpretation. The volume provides an ideal introduction to the various ways that scholars are currently interpreting the Bible. It offers both beginning and advanced students an understanding of the state of biblical interpretation, and how to explore each topic in greater depth.

Reviews

'Useful as a reference tool for scholars in the field, this updated volume offers a wide-angle snapshot of various current scholarly trends and of many of the major issues in biblical studies. … Highly recommended.'

J. S. Kaminsky Source: Choice

‘This type of volume is not necessarily designed for linear reading. However, I couldn’t stop reading from one page to the next, as each interpretive modality is clearly presented by recognized experts in the field. I plan to use this volume in my upcoming graduate seminars on biblical interpretation, as it allows me to quickly identify the major issues of each approach and points me toward the essential works for further study of the Bible.’
