An Introduction for Biblical Studies |
"Any and every student of the Bible should read it, as they will understand the whole Bible better as a result." —R. W. L. Moberly, Durham University |
Modern Genre Theory offers students in biblical studies an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to modern genre theory, providing access to literary tools for understanding how writers and readers use genre to make meaning. In one convenient package, this book first describes the current state of biblical genre theory and then presents a better alternative based on the best developments in secular literary theory, linguistics, and rhetorical studies. |

"A lucid summary of the state of the art and an illuminating intervention in the field of biblical studies." —JOHN FROW, University of Sydney |

"I fell into teaching biblical studies after doing my undergraduate and doctoral study in English literature. Given how important genre is for reading the Bible, I expected biblical studies would have a sophisticated understanding of genre – but, in general, our field is stuck in 19th century ideas about genre that are as outdated as they are unworkable. The Bible deserves better, and in this book, I want to introduce biblical studies students – and their professors – to the powerful tools of modern genre theory."
