The Textual World of the Bible

by Michael B. Shepherd (Author)

Theology & Philosophy

Series: Studies in Biblical Literature, Volume 156

Summary

The world of the Bible is a textual world. Its composition and intertextuality are what make it a representation of reality. To understand biblical world making, it is important to understand how biblical books are made and read. The Textual World of the Bible explores the patterns of figuration in biblical composition and the way in which these patterns are read within the Bible (inner-biblical exegesis). This book is an excellent choice for courses in biblical theology and hermeneutics.
