There is a twin focus in this volume. The title of a keynote
essay-'Why Is There a Song of Songs, and What Does It Do to You If
You Read It?'-hints at it. The focus is equally on the ideologies
of the writers of the Hebrew Bible, who brought the text into
being, and on the ideologies of its readers, who are being shaped
by the text at the same moment that they are shaping it in their
own image. Uncovering the ideologies of writers are readers is the
project of this book, calling for a step beyond the usual scholarly
goal of understanding-to a practice of the art of critique. Among
the other chapters in this challenging book are: The Ten
Commandments: Reading from Left to Right Metacommentating Amos
Haggai's Temple, Constructed, Deconstructed and Reconstructed David
the Man: The Construction of Masculinity in the Hebrew Bible Psalm
2 and the MLF (Moabite Liberation Front) God in the Pentateuch:
Reading against the Grain This is a reprint of the original 1995
edition. Reviews Everything which David J.A. Clines writes is
fascinating, often provocative, always inviting further thought,
and frequently setting the reader down new paths of inquiry. It is
especially good, therefore, to have eleven of his essays and papers
in Interested Parties. The titles are as intriguing as the
contents. C.S. Rodd, Expository Times
