Reviews

Reviews of the original publication: “In this interdisciplinary collection, philosophers, literary critiques, biblical scholars, theologians, and historians of ideas explore from their various perspectives ‘the ways in which the persuasive (and related literary) procedures of the biblical writers cut across or reinforce their concern with truth’…. The essays share a conviction that rhetorical criticism helps clarify the complex interrelated issues that arise when the Christian Bible is read as literature and as scripture. They do not represent a shared theological stance nor a common philosophical position towards truth claims.” -Phyllis H. Kaminski, Criticism: A Quarterly for Literature and the Arts; Detroit, Mich. Vol. 34, Iss. 3, (Summer 1992)
