Essays on Job, Hermeneutics and Theology in Memory of Jane Morse

This collection of essays focuses on the book of Job, exploring the complex interplay of methodology and hermeneutics. There are two major parts: approaches that are primarily historical, i.e. the recovery of what the text ”meant”; and those that are contextual, i.e. that take seriously the context of reading. Both approaches engage the theological issue of how this reading helps us to better appropriate what the text ”means”. Contributors include the editors, Mark S. Smith, Douglas J. Green, Victoria Hoffer, Ellen F. Davis and Claire Matthews Mc Ginnis.An introductory essay surveys the contents and outcomes of the various contributions and proposes new directions for the question of integrating methods.
