How do we begin to carry out such a vast task-the examination of three
millennia of diverse uses and influences of the biblical texts? Where
can the interested scholar find information on methods and techniques
applicable to the many and varied ways in which these have happened?
Through a series of examples of reception history practitioners at
work and of their reflections this volume sets the agenda for biblical
reception, as it begins to chart the near-infinite series of complex
interpretive 'events' that have been generated by the journey of the
biblical texts down through the centuries. The chapters consider
aspects as diverse as political and economic factors, cultural
location, the discipline of Biblical Studies, and the impact of
scholarly preconceptions, upon reception history. Topics covered
include biblical figures and concepts, contemporary music, paintings,
children's Bibles, and interpreters as diverse as Calvin, Lenin, and
Nick Cave.
