Why do major historical events such as the Holocaust occupy the
forefront of the collective consciousness, while profound moments
such as the Armenian genocide, the McCarthy era, and France's role
in North Africa stand distantly behind? Is it possible that history
"overly remembers" some events at the expense of others? A landmark
work in philosophy, Paul Ricoeur's "Memory, History, Forgetting"
examines this reciprocal relationship between remembering and
forgetting, showing how it affects both the perception of
historical experience and the production of historical narrative.
Reading Scripture with Paul Ricoeur is a unique volume in which twelve diverse contributors illuminate and analyze Paul Ricoeur's personal religious faith and intellectual passion for Scripture. The co-editors, Joseph A. Edelheit and James F Moore, each studied with Ricoeur at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago and bring the perspectives of a rabbi and of a Lutheran pastor and theologian, respectively. This book engages topics such as translation, biblical hermeneutics, and prophecy, as well as specific scriptural passages: Cain and Abel, the Epistles, and a feminist reading of Rahab. It provides both students and scholars alike a new resource of reflections using Ricoeur's scholarship to illuminate and model how Ricoeur read and taught.
