Old Testament Readings

The most important advance in Biblical criticism in recent years has been the development, based on work done by literary theorists, of new ways of reading the Biblical texts including:
* feminist and social-scientific approaches
* narratology
* deconstruction
* reception theory and structuralism
* the refinement of older approaches such as reader-response theory.
The books in this series undertake to demonstrate both the range and profundity of such new approaches to the books of the Old Testament.
Each volume concentrates on a single book of the Old Testament, and applies one or more modern approaches to demonstrate the results that can be achieved.
