Marxist Criticism of the Hebrew Bible: Second Edition
Autor Roland Boeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2014
In this second edition, Boer has added chapters on Deleuze and Guattari, and Negri. Each chapter has been carefully revised to make the book more useful on courses, while maintaining challenges and insights for postgraduate students and scholars. Theoretical material has been updated and sharpened in light of subsequent research and a revised conclusion considers the economies of the ancient world in relation to biblical societies.

Thoroughly
rewriting
his
2003
work
with
the
biblical
scholar
and
student
in
mind,
Roland
Boer
presents
a
wide-range
of
Marxist
critical
theorists
on
biblical
texts
from
Genesis
to
Daniel.
The
admirable
result
is
a
variety
of
provocative
readings
of
dialectical
richness.
Boer
offers
an
excellent
entrée
into
the
depth
and
complexities
of
these
philosophical
thinkers,
who
tackled
issues
of
economic
exploitation
and
injustice
head-on.
His
readings
provide
biblical
scholars
new
ways
of
approaching
texts
that
have
been
used
in
oppressive
struggles
throughout
the
course
of
history.
Roland Boer offers a fascinating 'close reading' of biblical texts with the help of Marxist hermeneutics. He connects the texts with the socio-economic context in which they are written, with respect to what those texts themselves want to express. Different from the historical-critical interpretation of the Bible, in which history is the critique of the text, he shows how the tensions in the text itself make possible an immanent critique of its ideology: the never-ending attempt to oppress the protest. After this book it will be very difficult to read the Hebrew Bible as only a historical or religious document.
