How do we begin to carry out such a vast task-the examination of
three millennia of diverse uses and influences of the biblical
texts? Where can the interested scholar find information on methods
and techniques applicable to the many and varied ways in which
these have happened? Through a series of examples of reception
history practitioners at work and of their reflections this volume
sets the agenda for biblical reception, as it begins to chart the
near-infinite series of complex interpretive 'events' that have
been generated by the journey of the biblical texts down through
the centuries. The chapters consider aspects as diverse as
political and economic factors, cultural location, the discipline
of Biblical Studies, and the impact of scholarly preconceptions,
upon reception history. Topics covered include biblical figures and
concepts, contemporary music, paintings, children's Bibles, and
interpreters as diverse as Calvin, Lenin, and Nick Cave.
