The purpose of this book is to illustrate that reading is a
subjective process which results in multivalent interpretations.
This is the case whether one looks at a text in its historical
contexts (the diachronic approach) or its literary contexts (the
synchronic approach). Three representative biblical texts are
chosen: from the Law (Genesis 2-3), the Writings (Isaiah 23) and
the Prophets (Amos 5), and each is read first by way of historical
analysis and then by literary analysis. Each text provides a number
of variant interpretations and raises the question, is any one
interpretation superior? What criteria do we use to measure this?
Or is there value in the complementary nature of many approaches
and many results?
