In the Revelation of John, the Hebrew Bible echoes and is re-invented, just as in James Hogg’s "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner" (1824). Here, these readings of the Bible are considered from two postmodern perspectives.

Paradise to Prison is a commentary, textbook and complete study guide to the book of Genesis. In very readable fashion the author explores the lives of the patriarchs as well as important doctrinal themes. Each chapter is carefully documented and sources from archaeology and ancient Near Eastern history are freely used. The writer’s premise is that no other ancient literature surviving the ravages of time can rightly be compared to Genesis with its unsurpassed theological perspectives and vivid profiles of early man.

This useful reader assembles eighteen essays from the prestigious Journal for the Study of the Old Testament which illustrate a variety of approaches to the Old Testament falling in some way into the category of ’social-scientific criticism’ as it has been conceived by biblical scholars over the past twenty years. Divided into six sections, this volume presents essays on the central methodological and theoretical issues as well as a series of applications to the study of early Israelite social forms, the formal and informal regulation of life, the distribution of power and justice,

Modern linguistics is a relative newcomer in the scientific world, and text-linguistics, or discourse analysis, is one of its youngest disciplines.

An extensive introduction to one particularly promising model of text analysis (fro
