| Résumé : |
Biblical scholarship has until recently paid little attention to the field of literary criticism. Conservative exegetes have, not without reason, feared that the use of literary criticism might lead to a downplaying or even the denial of the historical worth of Scripture. Indeed, there are dangers in emphasizing the literary aspects of the Bible at the expense of its historical content. But it is equally hazardous to minimize or ignore the Bible’s literary nature. “The Bible as literature or history is a false dichotomy. It is both and much more.”
The author’s stated purpose in this book is “to familiarize the reader with the literary nature of the Bible and to acquaint him or her with the research that is being carried out on the Bible by literary scholars.” Dr. Longman’s work blends an intelligent commitment to the authority of the Bible with an impressive expertise in contemporary literary theories. But the reader will find more than just a survey of the theory behind the literary approach. He will also find a practical introduction to the literary analysis of prose and poetic passages, complete with examples of both. |
