Narrative Criticism - 4 views

Narrative Criticism is a modern critical approach to Biblical reading. It treats the text as a whole, rather than in parts such as is common in the more historical critical approaches of the 18th c...

WHEN THE TEXT IS THE PROBLEM: A POSTCOLONIAL APPROACH TO BIBLICAL PEDAGOGY - 0 views

Postcolonial

shared by suesaldin on 16 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Postcolonial biblical critics use a multilayered biblical hermeneutic, one that emphasizes "the demythologization of the biblical authority, the demystification of the use of the Bible, and the construction of new models of interpretation of the Bible" (Kwok 1995, 30). Fernando Segovia, a postcolonial New Testament scholar, for example, argues that there are three different and equally important worlds that readers of the Bible should investigate and analyze: the world of the text, the world of modernity, and the world of today (Segovia 2002, 119-132).
  • Questions about culture, ideology, and power are sine qua non (quibus, really) for understanding the text.

    Examines postcolonial Biblical criticism as it applies to teaching the Bible. Provides a succinct overview of this approach to reading the Bible. Includes an analysis of the story of Hagar and Sarah that examines the sociopolitical context of the writer, traditional modern interpretations and concludes that Hagar and Sarah are examples of courageous, marginalized women in a patriarchal society who are able to maintain their dignity. Contrasts this reading with a feminist interpretation.

      genealogies are often sites of cultural memory that are loaded with identity markers. If we read genealogies in light of cultural memory, we might get a better sense of the selectivity of the list and the agenda at work in composing it.

historical criticism

shared by Joe MacDonald on 19 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Historical criticism is the art of distinguishing the true from the false concerning facts of the past. It has for its object both the documents which have been handed down to us and the facts themselves. We may distinguish three kinds of historical sources: written documents, unwritten evidence; and tradition. As further means of reaching a knowledge of the facts there are three processes of indirect research, viz.: negative argument, conjecture, and a priori argument.
  • The critic must now make the best possible use of the written sources at his disposal, i. e. he must understand them well, which is not always an easy matter. His difficulty may arise from the obscurity of certain words, from their grammatical form, or from their grouping in the phrase he seeks to interpret. As to the sense of the individual words it is supremely important that the critic should be able to read the documents in the language in which they were written rather than in translations.
  • In general, whenever there is occasion to verify the exactness of a quotation made in support of a thesis, it is prudent to read the entire chapter whence it is taken, sometimes even to read the whole work. An individual testimony, isolated from all its surroundings in an author's work, seems often quite decisive, yet when we read the work itself our faith in the value of the argument based on such partial quotation is either very much shaken or else disappears entirely.

  • What is now the value of a text rightly understood? Every historical statement or testimony naturally suggests two questions: Has the witness in question a proper knowledge of the fact concerning which he is called to testify? And if so, is he altogether sincere in his deposition? On an impartial answer to these questions depends the degree of confidence to be accorded to his testimony.

    This is a Catholic work dated in 1908. One can see the negotiation of science and faith in the writing. While Kantian terms such as a priori and a sence of evaluating data, there is a space for accepting unquantified data as part of the author's definition of historical criticism.
  • Carlene Hill on 22 Feb 10
     
    I think that when we start to talk about what is authentic in the Bible versus what isn't authentic can lead us to call things "false" or untrue when in fact the stories may very well be true and authentic, just not in the modern way of what we deem as true. This is why I found Philip Davies commentary posted by Michael H. quite helpful because it talks about reading the Bible from the perspective of what the writer or scribe was trying to convey to his audience instead of reading from the perspective of trying to figure out for example, if hundreds of thousands of Hebrew people actually lived and survived in the desert for more than forty years.
