Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the impact of postmodernism on biblical criticism, particularly focusing on the Old Testament. John J. Collins analyzes the diverse critical approaches that have emerged, viewing them as opportunities rather than obstacles. He scrutinizes historical criticism's aim to uncover a text's fundamental meaning while acknowledging the Bible's shifting role in providing a foundation for faith. Despite this, Collins emphasizes the ethical imperative found in the scriptures to care for "the other," a principle vital to both Old Testament ethics and Jesus' teachings.
