Book Synopsis Story, Text, and Scripture by : Wesley A. Kort
Download or read book Story, Text, and Scripture written by Wesley A. Kort and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author examines the case for revising the conception of biblical scripture in light of the new advances in narrative theory and the theory of textuality. The author's argument is fashioned with tact and understanding, and displays his firm command of a broad literature of critical theory and biblical research. The book summarizes and extends what has come to be called "the literary study of the Bible." This book is basically a study of four dominant literary methods which have been applied to biblical narratives by their practitioners. Each method is demonstrated through an analysis of a particular biblical narrative. This is the only study that treats the variety of recent literary analyses of biblical narrative, and it accounts for the variety by relating the various approaches to the elements of narrative, arguing that each approach is predetermined to favor one of the elements above the others. It argues that each literary approach, when applied to the narrative element most appropriate to it, reveals the vulnerability of the narrative form to religious meaning.
Book Synopsis Narrativity in Biblical and Related Texts by : George J. Brooke
Download or read book Narrativity in Biblical and Related Texts written by George J. Brooke and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen innovative studies are collected in this volume which has been produced under the aegis of the Centre for Biblical Studies, University of Manchester, and L'Institut des sciences bibliques, Universite de Lausanne. The majority of the studies engage with narrative through providing insightful working examples. Building on the many contributions of recent narratological research, for the most part the studies in this collection avoid the technical language of narratology as they present fresh insights at many levels. Some essays focus more on the implied author, some on the implied reader or hearer, and some on the way particular messages are constructed; some of the studies consider how author, message and reader are all interconnected. There are several creative proposals for refining genre definition, from law and wisdom to gospel and apocryphal writings. Some studies highlight the way in which narratives can contain ethical, religious, and cultural messages. Sensitivity to narrative is also shown by some contributors to expose in intruing ways the redactional processes behind the final form of texts. Students of narrative in the ancient world will find much to consider in this book, and others engaged with literary studies more generally will discover that scholars of the worlds of the Bible and Late Antiquity have much to offer them.

Download or read book The Poetics of Biblical Narrative written by Meir Sternberg and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1987-08-22 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meir Sternberg’s classic study is “an important book for those who seek to take the Bible seriously as a literary work.” (Adele Berlin, Prooftexts) In “a book to read and then reread” (Modern Language Review), Meir Sternberg “has accomplished an enormous task, enriching our understanding of the theoretical basis of Biblical narrative and giving us insight into a remarkable number of particular texts.” (Journal of the American Academy of Religion). The result is a “a brilliant work” (Choice) distinguished “both for his comprehensiveness and for the clearly-avowed faith stance from which he understands and interprets the strategies of the biblical narratives.” (Theological Studies). The Poetics of Biblical Narrative shows, in Adele Berlin’s words, “more clearly and emphatically than any book I know, that the Bible is a serious literary work―a text manifesting a highly sophisticated and successful narrative poetics.”

Book excerpt: "... a book which asks and answers a new, interesting question, using a rich range of biblical and humanistic methodologies." -- Journal of Biblical Literature This book examines a literary form within the Bible that has slipped through the cracks of modern scholarship: the mixing of song and story in biblical narrative. Journeying from ancient Egyptian battle accounts to Aramaic wisdom texts to early retellings of biblical tales in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish-Hellenistic literature, and rabbinic midrash, Steven Weitzman follows the history of this form from its origins as a congeries of different literary behaviors to its emergence as a self-conscious literary convention.
