Reading the Old Testament

method in biblical study

Edición de la obra Reading the Old Testament

"'Reading the Old Testament' is intended for students who have already learned some of the techniques of biblical study and who wish to explore the wider implications and aims of the various critical methods currently in use. It provides an independent assessment and comparison of the latest developments against the old, with chapters on form criticism, redaction criticism, canonical criticism, structuralism, reader-response criticism, and postmodern approaches. These methods are all applied to Ecclesiastes to illustrate their particular strengths. This new edition of a highly regarded and classic text has been revised and updated to assess the most recent approaches to biblical study." -- Back of book.
