Biblical Interpretation beyond Historicity evaluates the new
perspectives that have emerged since the crisis over historicity in
the 1970s and 80s in the field of biblical scholarship. Several new
studies in the field, as well as the 'deconstructive' side of
literary criticism that emerged from writers such as Derrida and
Wittgenstein, among others, lead biblical scholars today to view
the texts of the Bible more as literary narratives than as sources
for a history of Israel. Increased interest in archaeological and
anthropological studies in writing the history of Palestine and the
ancient Near East leads to the need for an evidence-based history
of Palestine. This volume analyses the consequences of the
question: "If the Bible is not history, what is it then?" The
editors, Hjelm and Thompson are members of the Copenhagen School,
which was formed in the light of this question and the commitment
to a new approach to both the history of Palestine and the Bible's
place in ancient history. This volume features essays from a range
of highly regarded scholars, and is divided into three sections:
"Beyond Historicity", which explores alternative historical roles
for the Bible, "Greek Connections", which discusses the Bible's
context in the Hellenistic world and "Reception", which explores
extra-biblical functions of biblical studies. Offering a unique
gathering of scholars and challenging new theories, Biblical
Interpretation beyond Historicity is invaluable to students in the
field of Biblical and East Mediterranean Studies, and is a crucial
resource for anyone working on both the archaeology and history of
Palestine and the ancient Near East, and the religious development
of Europe and the Near East.

The world of dreams reveals itself in many ways. For Cass it's a
place to escape the dull grind of her lonely life, a place where
she can run the twisted streets that curl off the Boulevard and
live out her violent fantasies. For Detective Babbage, it's a beat
to walk, a dark, dangerous environment for him to hunt down his
clues and get closer to who or what is haunting its streets. For
Adlai, sitting drunk in a bar on the border between Milky Way
Boulevard and the real world, it's a place to watch his creation
transform itself from a theatre of heroism into, hopefully,
something more vital. The one thread that pulls them together is
the nightmare vision walking the streets, a rogue musical virus
that infects users and feeds off their fears, growing stronger with
each kill. It has been designed to take down the Grid, a powerful
governing entity on the Boulevard, but this weapon has become
twisted, harvesting any user it comes across, and threatening to
take down the entire structure of the Boulevard itself.
