Autobiographical Biblical Criticism
Between Text and Self
The autobiographical turn in biblical criticism
reveals the interpreter’s “I” and reclaims it as an essential critical
category, issuing a challenge to traditional, “objective” criticism.
Pioneers in the field have contributed essays both practical and
theoretical. They offer stimulating autobiographical re-readings of
Hebrew Bible and New Testament texts, and address hermeneutical issues
that are at stake in this young field of criticism.
“Kitzberger provides us
with an excellent entry into this new realm of criticism. It is a must
reading for all those interested not only in the power of texts upon
lives and lives upon texts but also in the ongoing shape and direction
of the field.” Fernando F. Segovia
“Lively writing, fascinating footnotes, and
clear-headed analysis put this volume on the ‘Method’ shelf of every
biblical scholar interested in interpretive integrity” Carole R.
Fontaine, Religious Studies Review
“Provides an excellent encounter with the means
and outcomes of autobiographical criticism for beginners and established
scholars alike” – H.A. McKay, JSOT
“A varied collection which
offers plenty of food for thought” Richard Coggins,
Expository Times
