| Summary: | The method generally called social-scientific interpretation has been fruitfully applied to New Testament texts for over twenty years. The Old Testament community, on the other hand, only rarely uses models and methods derived from social and cultural anthropology. Shane Kirkpatrick, in his revised doctoral thesis, submitted to the University of Notre Dame, wants to do something against this sparse use of anthropology by providing a detailed social-scientific analysis of Daniel 1–6. He sees his enterprise as an addition to more traditional historical-critical and literary-critical studies of the chapters (and therefore only seldom addresses more traditional questions). |
