The Image, the Depths and the Surface : Multivalent Approaches to Biblical Study Hardback
by Susan Gillingham
Part of the The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series
Hardback
Description
The purpose of this book is to illustrate that reading is a subjective process which results in multivalent interpretations.
This is the case whether one looks at a text in its historical contexts (the diachronic approach) or its literary contexts (the synchronic approach).
Three representative texts are chosen from the Law (Genesis 2-3), the Writings (Isaiah 23) and the Prophets (Amos 5), and each is read first by way of historical analysis and then by literary analysis.
Each text provides a number of variant interpretations and raises the question--is any one interpretation superior?
What criteria do we use to measure this? Or is there value in the complementary nature of many approaches and many results?
