The conversations in this collection open by challenging ideas that
have become standard and subjecting them to critical
re-examination. The central thread of all these essays is a
reflection on the processes of reading and theologizing. Many focus
on the relation of Paul to the energetic and complex Judaism of the
1st century, and one reads the Gospel of John in this light. Others
highlight eschatology. Among the contributors to this volume are
David E. Aune, Jouette Bassler, Daniel Boyarin, Neil Elliott,
Victor Paul Furnish, Lloyd Gaston, Steven J. Kraftchick, Robert C.
Morgan, J. Andrew Overman, Mark Reasoner, Peter Richardson, and
Robin Scroggs. Juanita Garciagodoy and David H. Hopper offer
appreciations of Calvin Roetzel as a teacher and colleague.

Inspired by and engaging with the provocative and prolific work of
Stephen D. Moore, Bible and Theory showcases some of the most
current thinking emerging at the intersections of critical methods
with biblical texts. The result is a plurality of readings that
deconstruct customary disciplinary boundaries. These chapters,
written by a wide range of biblical scholars, collectively argue by
demonstration for the necessity and benefits of biblical criticism
inflected with queer theory, literary criticism, postmodernism,
cultural studies, and more. Bible and Theory: Essays in Biblical
Interpretation in Honor of Stephen D. Moore invites the reader to
rethink what constitutes the Bible and to reconsider what we are
doing when we read and interpret it.
