520 |a Through a reading of two novels by Canadian Mennonite writer Rudy Wiebe,this paper examines the implications for meaning, authority,belief,and moral certitude of applying Bakhtin's theory of dialogism to the Scriptures. While certain conservatie Western Canadian Mennonite communities maintained a monologic hermeneutic tradition by locking the sacred Word into fixed textual and ethno-historical contexts,Wiebe's novels situate the Scriptures ina zone of dialogic contract with a diversity of texts and readers in the ever-changing present. In so doing, Wieberaise a central pressing question: how can theological surety be maintained in the face of a theory of language that renders all readings or voicing of a text equally valid in principle,and hence all truths culturally and historically conringent?
