Semeia studies. vol. 38 Mikhail Bakhtin and Biblical scholarship: An introduction

Green, Barbara (1946-...)

Semeia studies. vol. 38 Mikhail Bakhtin and Biblical scholarship: An introduction Barbara Green - U.S.A The society of Biblical literature 2000 - 205tr. Paperback 22cm

This is the book for every biblical scholar who has paused at the shelf of volumes by and about Mikhail Bakhtin and then passed on, not sure where to start or whether it would be worth the time. Barbara Green has written a valuable introduction that is clear and insightful, appreciative and critical. A distinguishing feature of the volume is that it goes beyond a mere descriptive summary of Bakhtin’s thought to model a reading informed by Bakhtin’s thought and to analyze how Bakhtin has already been used (and occasionally misused) in biblical studies to date.
