Bakhtin and Genre Theory in Biblical Studies

Portada
Society of Biblical Lit, 2007 - 238 páginas
This volume offers a meeting between genre theory in biblical studies and the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, who continues to be immensely influential in literary criticism. Here Bakhtin comes face to face with a central area of biblical studies: the question of genre. The essays range from general discussions of genre through the reading of specific biblical texts to an engagement with Toni Morrison and the Bible. --From publisher's description.
