Text and Paratext: Book Order, Title, and Divisions as Keys to Biblical Interpretation
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Greg Goswell’s book is an extremely fascinating read, bringing together many issues that interpreters simply take for granted but shouldn’t. He clearly shows that the company that books keep matters, and that the titles of books—as well as chapter divisions and verses—are not just decorations but provide hermeneutical guidance.”
Stephen G. Dempster
emeritus professor of religious studies, Crandall University
“For years Goswell has been reflecting on the Christian canon and its significance for interpretation, and in this helpful primer, he shares a storehouse of canonical insights that aid our understanding of the Bible’s meaning. Goswell’s work offers expert guidance for and generous invitation to appreciating the hermeneutical difference canon makes in hearing the Bible as the church’s book.”
Darian Lockett
professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
“Goswell has collated years of research and writing into this helpful and accessible volume that clearly demonstrates the importance of the Bible’s paratextual features and their significance for interpretation. Text and Paratext is the perfect starting point for further study in this important area of biblical studies.”
