Modern Genre Theory : An Introduction for Biblical Studies

---

Outline : Genre theory has experienced a renaissance in the last thirty years, but biblical studies has been left in the dark ages of rigid taxonomies and stubborn essentialism. The Bible deserves better. This book offers students in biblical studies an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to modern genre theory, providing access to literary tools for understanding how writers and readers use genre to make meaning. In one convenient package, this book first describes the current state of biblical genre theory and then presents a better alternative based on the best developments in secular literary theory, linguistics, and rhetorical studies. Drawing on modern genre theory, Andrew Judd proposes a working definition of genre and identifies twelve tenets of modern genre theory for biblical studies. Judd then offers eight case studies in biblical exegesis to show how a better understanding of genre leads to a better understanding of the Bible. Because our disagreements about what the Bible means often boil down to different assumptions about what the biblical text is, it is important to get a handle on genre. From the creation accounts of Genesis to the visions of Revelation, this book offers a way to read the Bible better.
