Biblical studies now wrestles with this force and evaluates its potential for interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith lucid and jargon-free description, this study sets forth New Historicism for the nonspecialist. Defining New Historicism as a mindset rather than a method, it traces the development, discusses recurring features, and offers illustrations of this new literary approach.Here biblical texts are plunged back into the swirling currents of historical context only to disclose their plural, contradictory, fragmentary, and heterogeneous character. This includes the histories associated, represented, and embedded in those texts. In the process, the carefully guarded distinctions between text and context, history and literature, past and present, fade. In exchange for the loss of these tidy categories, New Historicism promises sufficient compensationnamely, a potential venue where the sharply drawn border currently separating historical investigations from literary studies in biblical interpretation can be negotiated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gina Hens-Piazza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800629892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800629892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 5.58w x 0.28d","brand":"Gina Hens-Piazza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216507154687,"sku":"9780800629892","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aff90d4f-b1d8-41fd-9f5e-61e0f4d6bb99.jpg?v=1771991463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-historicism-gina-hens-piazza-9780800629892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
