The Bible in Theory : Critical and Postcritical Essays

While sorting and selecting articles and essays he has written over the past 20 years for this collection, Moore (New Testament, Drew U.) found gender and theory as two consistent themes. The 16 selections cover postmodernity, textuality, autobiography, masculinity, sexuality, postcoloniality, and post-theory. Among specific topics are biblical studies and the postmodernism debate, the gospel of the look, the divine butcher, the Song of Songs in the history of sexuality, and representing empire in John.
