Validity in the Identification and Interpretation of Literary Allusions in the Hebrew Bible
Ebook
Given the present state of affairs in the area of intertextuality, along with the multitude of competing interpretations of Scripture, Validity in the Identification and Interpretation of a Literary Allusion in the Bible seeks to bring a measure of reason and methodological control back into the discussion. With that in mind, this work is heavily philosophical yet also deeply practical. By defining what literary allusions are and how they work, David Klingler seeks to provide some interpretive criteria for assessing the various claims about literary allusions in the Bible.
“Intertextuality is a hot topic among biblical interpreters. The
diversity of definitions and methods can be overwhelming. David
Klingler’s well-researched study brings clarity to the discussion.
He surveys philosophical hermeneutics, provides an insightful
critique of postmodern approaches, and interacts with various
viewpoints regarding literary allusion. He develops a well-reasoned
method for how to validate the presence of literary allusion and to
articulate its relevance for interpretation. Klingler’s work is a
must-read for biblical scholars.”
