Psychological Biblical Criticism Paperback / softback
Edited by D. Andrew Kille
Part of the Guides to Biblical Scholarship Old Testament series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume provides an introduction to psychological interpretations of the Hebrew Bible -- with the Garden of Eden story as a test case.
It approaches the text from Freudian, Jungian, and Developmental psychologies, comparing and contrasting the different methods while taking on the hermeneutical issues.
Ricoeur's work is used to establish criteria for adequate interpretation.Genesis 3 presents a fruitful text for psychological interpretation given its importance in Western culture.
Its themes of sexuality, guilt, consciousness, and alienation are issues of great concern for everyone in our society.
Kille's aim is to locate psychological criticism within the field of biblical studies and to propose a hermeneutical framework for describing and evaluating psychological approaches.
The second part is devoted to analysis of different evaluations of Genesis 3 from the three chosen psychological perspectives.
