  • - Noncanonical Readings of the Canonical Gospels
    av Richard Walsh & George Aichele
    945,-

    In this volume, the contributors practice interpretative thefts or, put differently, they pursue "lines of flight", not movements of escape but rather creative ways of contesting prevailing ideologies. These readings trace the contours and the effects of the canonical and creedal, as well as the academic, captivity of the gospels.

  • - Canon as Semiotic Mechanism
    av George Aichele
    637,-

    This provocative book pursues a series of questions associated with canon(s) of the Bible. How does the canon influence the meaning of the texts of which it is composed? Could texts be "liberated" from the canon, and what would this liberation do to them or to the canon? What does the biblical canon signify about its constituent texts? What does canonical status imply about texts that are included in the Bible, as well as texts that are excluded from it? How does a canon-a cultural and ideological product-influence or create ideology and culture? In The Control of Biblical Meaning, George Aichele draws deeply on the insights of postructuralist literary theory as he pursues these questions. He also engages in close readings of specific biblical and nonbiblical texts to demonstrate ways that canon controls the meanings of its texts. With dazzling skill, Aichele interrogates the form and function of canon as a mechanism that both reveals and conceals texts from its readers.George Aichele teaches at Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan. He is the author of Sign, Text, Scripture: Semiotics and the Bible and Jesus Framed and is a contributor to The Postmodern Bible.For: Advanced undergraduates; graduate students; biblical scholars; course text

    556 - 1 815,-

    'Simulating Jesus' argues that the gospels do not represent four versions of one Jesus story but rather four distinct narrative simulacra, each of which is named "Jesus". The book explores the theory and evidence justifying this claim and discusses its practical and theological consequences.
