O knihe

Bruce Malina provides the foundation for in-depth biblical interpretation using the tools of cultural analysis. As one of the pioneers in this field of biblical studies, Malina has taken the work of sociologist Mary Douglas, interpreted her ""Group/Grid"" model of cultural analysis, and applied it admirably to biblical studies and interpretation.
He refines a new methodology of scholarly biblical interpretation. Since cultures differ, proper interpretation of one culture by another requires a method to compare and contrast the cultures. He has designed such methods and models using the principles of the Douglas method of sociological study. Malina's charts, models, and illustrations serve as study tools for other biblical scholars. His careful thorough work will enable these scholars to incorporate these new models for study into their own methods of biblical interpretation.

""A significant contribution to biblical studies. It appeals to scholars, teachers, and students. An excellent tool for biblical interpreters.""
-- David M. Rhoads, Chairperson
