Description
Summary:The editors, Vernon K. Robbins, Robert H. von Thaden Jr. and Bart B. Bruehler, begin the volume with a glossary of technical terms and phrases associated with sociorhetorical interpretation (SRI). It serves as an orientation for scholars who are new in the field of SRI and a reminder to scholars who have left the field and wish to return. The editors give a comprehensive preview of the articles in the volume. The volume is a multi-authored work divided into five parts, made up of twelve chapters and written by ten distinguished scholars. It presents a strong case for SRI propounded by Vernon K. Robbins, specifically how it has been engaged and the new avenues it has created for biblical interpretation from 1994 to 2007. It demonstrates the “interpretive analytic” nature and multifaceted approach of SRI as distinct from other interpretative methods. In the midst of the plurality of biblical methods, the volume shows how such methods can be amalgamated for a deeper insight into the ancient text. Key issues in the volume include textures, space, topoi and conceptual blending models. Besides the article of Jon L. Berquist, the articles are reprinted with permission from their initial publishers. This compilation makes previously separated articles in various publications accessible in one volume. The articles are arranged topically, which makes it easier for the critical analysis of related issues.
