This study seeks to make a contribution to current debates about
the nature of Wirkungsgeschichte or reception history and its place
in contemporary Biblical Studies. The author addresses three
crucial questions: the relationship between reception history and
historical-critical exegesis; the form of reception history itself,
with a focus on the issue of which acts of reception are selected
and valorized; and the role of tradition, pre-judgements and
theology in relation to reception history. Disagreements about
these matters contribute to what many characterise as the
fragmentation of the discipline of biblical studies. The study
champions the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer as a theoretical
resource for understanding biblical interpretation, and a way of
holding together with integrity the varied activities undertaken
within the discipline. Each aspect of the argument is illustrated,
tested and further explored with reference to the post-history of
exhortations in the New Testament to 'be subject'. These have been
widely cited and applied for 2,000 years - in literature, law and
politics as well as in theological traditions. In this way the
study makes a contribution not just to the theory but also the
practice of reception history.
