Reading Other Peoples’ Texts
Author: Ken S. Brown
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567687341
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This volume draws together eleven essays by scholars of the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Greco-Roman religion and early Judaism, to address the ways that conceptions of identity and otherness shape the interpretation of biblical and other religiously authoritative texts. The contributions explore how interpreters of scriptural texts regularly assume or assert an identification between their own communities and those described in the text, while ignoring the cultural, social, and religious differences between themselves and the text's earliest audiences. Comparing a range of examples, these essays address varying ways in which social identity has shaped the historical contexts, implied audiences, rhetorical shaping, redactional development, literary appropriation, and reception history of particular texts over time. Together, they open up new avenues for studying the relations between social identity, scriptural interpretation, and religious authority.

Pages : 538
Book Description
Skinware is a thrill ride of epic proportions. Jared Cross is a man that is trying to run from his past. Trying is the operative word as Jared, ex-college professor, seeks to distance himself from his problems by working for his uncle in the last great frontier of Alaska. His uncle, Albert Hiller, is a powerful oil man at war with a conservationist as he seeks to start drilling for crude in Denali National Park. The conservationist, Joseph Daniels has his own conflicts, least among them is finding his Father's murderer. Haunted by tragedy and an impending divorce from Madeleine, the love of his life, Jared meets up with William Posely who has baggage of his own. Being a recently deposed pilot from the United States Air Force, as well as having a disgruntled personality, William is unlikely as a candidate to become Jared's best friend. However, the two share a chemistry and passion that immediately seals them as friends and brothers. Amongst a host of unforgettable characters Jared stumbles into science fiction becoming science fact: someone is cloning people in the outback of Seward's folly. Jared makes the discovery by running into a carbon copy of Madeleine and falls into the adventure of a lifetime all the while exorcising his own personal demons. The action and suspense are non-stop as the creators of life seek to end the life of Jared and his cohorts. Can the good guys get the goods on the cloners and have them exposed before it is too late?
