| Summary: | This is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of essays written by biblical and theological scholars who generously welcome us into their intellectual and, often, personal worlds. Inspired by Anne Fadiman’s Rereadings, Sugirtharajah tasked the authors with revisiting a text that has had a significant impact on their theological formation. The authors were asked to consider the original context of the work, its theological standing then and now, how their reading of it has changed over time and how it has influenced their professional lives. The result provides not only an interesting slant on a range of texts but also an insight into the scholars themselves, their motivations, their intellectual struggles and their political agendas. |
