Authoritative texts and traditions can be rewritten and adapted to new circumstances and insights. Texts are subject to a process of change. The study of the ways in which these (authoritative) biblical texts are produced and/or received in various socio-historical circumstances discloses a range of theological and ideological perspectives. In reflecting on these issues, the central question is how to allow for a given text’s plurality of possible and realised meanings while also retaining the ability to form critical judgments regarding biblical exegesis. This volume highlight that violence in particular is a fruitful area to explore this tension CN BS1199.V56 SN 9789004434684 K1 Violence in the Bible K1 Violence : Biblical teaching K1 Konferenzschrift : 22.08.2018-24.09.2018 : Groningen K1 Aufsatzsammlung DO 10.1163/9789004434684
