"Two general papers titled 'Literary theory and biblical interpretation' (G. Osborne, who discusses narrative theory as a 'test case') and 'A structural-historical approach to the exegesis of the Old Testament' (S. Syman) are followed by six more papers that deal with speech-act theory (R. Briggs), genre criticism (J.K. Brown), ambiguity (D.G. Firth), poetics (J. Grant), and discourse analysis (T. Wardlaw). Each article has a bibliography. --Recommended." (International Review of Biblical Studies, 2008-2009)
"Succeeds admirably in what it set out to do. It presents a wide array of topics in an introductory yet thorough manner, engages current scholarship outside of the boundaries of evangelicalism while showing the benefits and applicability of these resources to those within that interpretive community, and points the way towards further research for those whose interest has been piqued by the discussion." (Laura J. Hunt, Criswell Theological Review, Fall 2009)
"Words and the Word provides a masterful guide to a profitable literary analysis of the biblical text. The essays are learned and insightful and will enrich the readers' interpretation of the biblical text. I recommend it highly not only for scholars, but also and especially for ministers and seminary students." (Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College)
