Roland Boer
Society of Biblical Lit, 2007-11-15 - 238 pages
This
volume offers a meeting between genre theory in biblical studies and
the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, who continues to be immensely influential
in literary criticism. Here Bakhtin comes face to face with a central
area of biblical studies: the question of genre. The essays range from
general discussions of genre through the reading of specific biblical
texts to an engagement with Toni Morrison and the Bible. The
contributors are John Anderson, Roland Boer, Martin J. Buss, Judy
Fentress-Williams, Christopher Fuller, Barbara Green, Bula Maddison,
Carleen Mandolfo, Christine Mitchell, Carol A. Newsom, David M. Valeta,
and Michael Vines.
