Pillars in the History of Biblical Interpretation, Volume 1
This two-volume set is part of a growing body of literature concerned with the history of biblical interpretation. The ample introduction first sets key players into the story of the development of the major strands of biblical interpretation since the Enlightenment, identifying how different theoretical and methodological approaches are related to each other and describing the academic environment in which they emerged and developed. Volume 1 contains fourteen essays on twenty-two interpreters who were principally active before 1980, and volume 2 has nineteen essays on twenty-seven of those who were active primarily after this date.

God and Caesar
Benson (philosophy, City U. of New York) looks again at German philosopher Ernst Troeltsch's (1865-1923) liberal Protestant thought and finds that it legitimized class, religious, and gender inequality in response to the challenges of social democracy. She also examines his role in the politics and ideological debates of Imperial Germany, and asks why his reputation has been protected for so long.

Lexikonpolitik
Wie kein anderes Lexikon hat Die Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart (RGG), zumal in ihrer ersten Auflage, theologiegeschichtliche Bedeutung erlangt. Sie hat einerseits der je herrschenden theologischen Strömung ihrer Zeit Ausdruck verliehen. Andererseits hat sie selbst der Theologie Impulse vermittelt. Die Arbeit zeichnet diese theologiegeschichtliche und theologiepolitische Bedeutung der RGG im Kontext der buchgeschichtlichen Entwicklung protestantischer Lexikographie nach. Die lexikonpolitische Fragestellung wird im Hinblick sowohl auf wissenschafts-, theologie-, bildungs- und verlagspolitische Aspekte erörtert. Die Arbeit schließt eine Forschungslücke, galt doch die theologische Lexikalik bislang als weitgehend unerforscht.
The Pentateuch in the Twentieth Century

The New Cambridge History of the Bible: Volume 4, From 1750 to the Present
This volume examines the Bible's role in the modern world - beginning with a treatment of its production and distribution that discusses publishers, printers, text critics, and translators and continuing with a presentation of new methods of studying the text that have emerged, including historical, literary, social-scientific, feminist, postcolonial, liberal, and fundamentalist readings. There is a full discussion of the changes in understandings of and approaches to the Bible in various faith communities. The dissemination of the Bible throughout the globe has also produced a host of new interpretations, and this volume provides a comprehensive geographical survey of its reception. In the final chapters, the authors offer a thematic overview of the Bible in relation to literature, art, film, science, and other disciplines. They demonstrate that, in spite of challenges to the Bible's authority in western Europe, it remains highly relevant and influential, not least in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
