Bible and Theory: Essays in Biblical Interpretation in Honor of Stephen D. Moore

by George Aichele (Contribution by), A. K. M. Adam (Contribution by), Janice Capel Anderson (Contribution by), Roland Boer (Contribution by), Colleen M. Conway (Contribution by)

Overview

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.
