The essays in this collection arose out of a conference held at
King's College, London in the spring of 1992. While the
contributions do not deny the need for historical criticism and its
lasting significance, they believe that it is no longer plausible
to identify the results of such criticism with the full reality of
the biblical texts. Other approaches are equally legitimate and the
new theoretical perspective must be pluralistic. Factors
determining the new situation are an acceptance of what is widely
called a 'postmodern' condition, the recognition that the Bible is
an 'open text' capable of many meanings, the development of a
literary approach to the Bible and an emphasis on the importance of
the role of the reader. All these issues are reflected in
individual essays, by Mark Brett, Phyllis Trible, Werner Jeanrond,
Frances Young, Stephen Moore, Stephen Barton, Richard Coggins and
the editor. The common threads which emerge from their
contributions will prove of the utmost importance for biblical
studies in the future, and may well provide a chart of the new
courses that it will have to take.
