Words and the Word is a series of eight essays which aim to open a conversation between the disciplines of biblical interpretation and literary theory.
In the past, biblical studies had a variety of dialogue partners, including philosophy and historical studies. Today, literary theory has a very high profile in university departments; this book explores ways in which the interpretation of the Bible might benefit from its insights.
