Emphasizing meaning as "effect" rather than merely "message,"
Mark Allan Powell shows how biblical texts may legitimately take on
multiple meanings in a variety of contexts. The first part of the
book uses examples drawn from popular literature and culture to
engage in a practical way the kinds of questions that scholars
bring to their study of the Bible. The second part is devoted to
approaching the Gospel of Matthew as a work of literature that
readers may enter--and be affected by--as they might any other kind
of text. The third part is an extended study of one passage from
Matthew's Gospel, the story of the Magi, in which Powell finds an
excellent opportunity to teach readers to engage in--and to
challenge!--the enterprise of biblical scholarship.
