Biblical scholars today often sound as if they are caught in the aftermath of Babel - a clamor of voices unable to reach common agreement. Yet is this confusion necessarily a bad thing? Many postmodern critics see the recent profusion of critical approaches as a welcome opportunity for the emergence of diverse new techniques. In The Bible after Babel noted biblical scholar John J. Collins considers the effect of the postmodern situation on biblical, primarily Old Testament, criticism over the last three decades. Engaging and even-handed, Collins examines the quest of historical criticism to objectively establish a text's basic meaning. Accepting that the Bible may no longer provide secure "foundations" for faith, Collins still highlights its ethical challenge to be concerned for "the other" - a challenge central both to Old Testament ethics and to the teaching of Jesus.

An excellent survey for biblical methods and theories in the postmodern age. Hermeneutics of suspicion, as an antithesis to hermeneutics of faith, brought many challenges to the sacrality of the biblical texts but also open up many opportunities to approaching the texts differently. This is the multivocality of the biblical texts.

#很薄。没有学文论完全不造啥叫后现代。讲对圣经中历史的怀疑 可是以真相为目的的历史不是很晚么 而且我个人一直很怀疑这种approach有多少意义 也不觉得旧约比荷马史诗真实多少。讲出埃及记怎么觉得有点牵强 哪个民族写自己历史没有战胜外族的桥段？讲女性主义说有辩护的有怀疑的 总觉得有时间倒错的感觉 这应该不是编纂者们考虑的问题吧…
