"This book is a wonderful resource for the classroom and provides a literary laboratory for student discussion of method and strategy in reading the Bible. Having representative essays of the major turning points in the history of biblical interpretation assembled in a one-volume reader should also facilitate the discussion of methods in the guild by making materials, particularly the older essays, easily accessible. Some of the essays are here translated into English for the first time. Yarchin is a reliable and unbiased guide through the rather complex and argumentative history of biblical interpretation. An exceptional book! It will remain a valuable resource for years to come."--Charles W. Hedrick, Missouri State University "Yarchin's concern to demonstrate a plurality of approaches, to make the readings accessible, and to situate each reading within its historical and cultural context has resulted in a textbook that should have wide appeal to advanced college students, seminarians, and beginning graduate students. May it remain in print for a very long time."--Review of Biblical Literature "As biblical scholarship moves from a modern to a postmodern context, increasing attention is being paid to a range of hermeneutical issues. Yarchin's contribution to the present transition is well timed, lucid, and even practical. . . . The reader is literally drawn into the 'story' of interpretation in a way few textbooks can match."--Catholic Biblical Quarterly "This is a useful reader. It gathers together numerous significant texts on biblical interpretation into a handy compendium of some of the most important movements in biblical interpretation in the last 2,000 years. . . . [It] is likely to become a standard textbook for all who are interested in the history of biblical interpretation."--Journal for the Study of the New Testament "This is a very valuable reader, providing lengthy and representative passages from writers on biblical interpretation from the earliest times. . . . The selection is judicious and helpful. Yarchin provides excellent introductions and notes to the selections, studiously avoiding any evaluative comments and concentrating on helping the reader to understand the necessary background. There is also an excellent general introduction. Altogether an admirable book, which should be useful in courses on interpretation."--Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
