This addition to the prestigious Studies in Antiquity and
Christianity (SAC) series is the first of a two-volume set of
essays on the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. The essays focus
on the exegetical methodology developed by Rolf P. Knierim at the
Institute for Antiquity and Christianity in Claremont, California.
The exegetical foundations of Knierim s methodology pay special
attention to the literary forms and conceptual underpinnings of
biblical texts. But the method moves well beyond the concerns of
traditional form criticism to address the overall interpretation of
the Hebrew Bible from the perspectives of the ancient biblical
writers and contemporary readers. The result is a comprehensive
interpretive methodology that employs a close reading of biblical
texts, integrating concerns about literary form and theological
perspective with the settings in which biblical texts were composed
as well as the ways they are read in the present and the future.
Such readings, the editors maintain, constitute the cutting edge of
biblical interpretation at the outset of the millennium. Volume 1
contains twenty-one essays, including seven by Knierim. Other
contributors are: Mary Deely, Michael Floyd, John Goldingay, Robert
Hubbard, Mignon Jacobs, Isaac Kalimi, Joel Kaminsky, Paul Kim,
Wonil Kim, Charles Mabee, Steven Reed, and Janet Weathers. Editors:
Deborah Ellens is an independent scholar. Michael Floyd is
Professor of Old Testament at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of
the Southwest. Wonil Kim is Assistant Professor of Old Testament
Studies at La Sierra University. Marvin A. Sweeney is Professor of
Hebrew Bible at Claremont School of Theology and Professor of
Religion at Claremont Graduate University. For: Pastors, college
and seminary courses in Hebrew Bible, scholars>
