Relating to the Text is a collected volume of writing on form-critical and interdisciplinary approaches to biblical texts. The authors intentionally aim to move biblical studies into broader intellectual arenas by considering various sections of Scripture according to their form or genre. All authors are dedicated to the advancement of conversation on method and interpretation in biblical studies. This volume begins with a series of essays concerned with form—both form criticism generally and the genre and rhetoric of particular Bible texts. The second volume contains essays which draw on intellectual insights from disciplines outside biblical studies.
