About this product
Product Information
Socio-rhetorical criticism has established itself as one of the promising new methods of biblical study today. Vernon K. Robbins here provides an accessible introduction to socio-rhetorical criticism, illustrating the method by guiding the reader through the study of specific New Testament texts and stories.An opening chapter outlines this new approach and its focus on values, convictions, and beliefs both in the texts we read and in the world in which we live. Then follow chapters on getting inside a text (inner texture), that is, studying the internal aspects of words and meanings in the text: entering the interactive world of the test (intertexture, ), that is relating the text being interpreted to a wide range of phenomena that lie outside the text: living with the text in the world (social and cultural texture), that is, examining the social and cultural locations in the world that the language of the text evokes: and shared interests in commentary and in the text (ideological texture), that is, looking at the way the text itself and interpreters of the text position themselves in relation to other individuals and groups.d104s studied include the rich man and Jesus in Mark 10:17-22 (inner texture): the Pentecost event in Acts 2 (intertexture): the woman who anointed Jesus in Luke 7:36-50 and John 9 (social and cultural texture): the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40 and "women keep silent" in 1 Corinthians 14: 26-40 (ideological texture).Vernon K. Robbins is Professor of Religion in the Department of Religion, Emory University, and the author of Ancient Quotes and Anecdotes: From Crib to Crypt and The Rhetoric of Pronouncement.

Reviews
"This is a marvelous book. Students will use it to find their way through the many different approaches to early Christian texts currently being pursued. Teachers will use it as the primary text for the standard course in New Testament criticism ("exegesis"). Scholars of Christian origins will use it to render utterly honest readings of their texts as social data for redescription. And the guild of New Testament studies will learn the steps for dancing at last in public on the stage of cultural critique. Bravo Vernon! You have written a book that shows why rhetorical savvy must call the tune for the next time around. Let the music begin."--Burton L. Mack, School of Theology at Claremont, "Vernon Robbins, who teaches at Emory University, introduces socio-rhetorical criticism. He views texts as intricately woven tapestries of complex patterns and images. By changing the interpreter's angle, multiple textures' are brought into view."--Theology Digest, Exploring the Texture of Texts: "This book will challenge preachers' exegetical assumptions and broaden their perspectives on the biblical text."-Interpretation, "...an excellent guide for reading the Christian Scriptures, particularly the Gospels... I recommend this as an excellent text to use alongside a more comprehensive introduction to the Christian Scriptures. It will stir the student's minds."--Robert Doran, Amherst College, for the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, "Exploring the Texture of Texts successfully introduces the results of Robbins' pioneering scholarship and intellectual activity through more than a decade.This is the manual students of socio-rhetorical criticism have been waiting for!"--Bernard Combrink, Department of New Testament, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, Exploring the Texture of Texts: "This book will challenge preachers " exegetical assumptions and broaden their perspectives on the biblical text."--Interpretation, "...students and teachers will find that each chapter, together with its study guide, challenges them to experiment with a variety of approaches to interpretation, all of which should enrich their appreciation of the text."--David G. Horrell, University of Exeter, UK, as printed in Review of Biblical Literature, June 1999, "This delightful book provides a comprehensive but accessible introduction to the practice of sociorhetorical criticism developed by Robbins...an excellent orientation for students at the beginning of their NT studies. Even scholars working in a different hermeneutical tradition will find this a useful introduction to important developments in NT research."--Johan C. Thom, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, for Religious Studies Review, October 2000, "...strongly recommended for all interpreters of the Bible as essential 'continuing education' in the art and science of interpretation." --David A. deSilva, reviewing for Ashland Theological Seminary, "Vernon Robbins, who teaches at Emory University, introduces socio-rhetorical criticism. He views texts as intricately woven tapestries of complex patterns and images. By changing the interpreter's angle, multiple 'textures' are brought into view."-Theology Digest, "The book's greatest gift...is a multifaceted understanding concerning the diversity of readings feasible for any biblical text--an interpreter's lesson worth remembering."--The Clergy Journal, October 1997

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
