'Power and Responsibility in Biblical Interpretation' addresses the
interpretive challenges now facing much biblical interpretation.
Incorporating the methodologies of poststructuralism,
postcolonialism, and liberation theology, the study presents a
possible methodology which integrates scholarly and vernacular
hermeneutics. The approach is based on the theories of Edward Said,
adapting his concept of contrapuntal reading to the interpretation
of 'Job'. The book sets this study in the broader context of a
survey of current work in the field. The analysis of 'Job' examines
the possibilities for dialogue between those interpretations that
view suffering as a key theme in the book and those that do not.
Interpretations of the 'Book of Job' are then compared to the
psychology of suffering as experienced in various contexts today.
The conclusion argues for pedagogical reform based upon the ethical
and interpretive insights of contrapuntal hermeneutics.
