Reading the Bible in the Global Village: Helsinki vol.1 Heikki Räisänen, ... [et al.] - U.S.A. Society of Bible Literature Atlanta 2000 - 180tr. paperback, illustrations 23cm - Global perspectives on biblical scholarship .

The multiplication of scholarly methods and approaches to biblical criticism and interpretation presents enw opportunities, but also raises new questions. Are some readings of the Bible ""better"" than others, or more""true""? How do biblical scholars address questions of objectivity and meaning in the light of their social locations and ideological commitments? Have the once-dominant questions about what a text ""meant"" in its original context and what it ""means"" today lost relevance?
