Publisher's Description
Given the present state of affairs in the area of intertextuality, along with the multitude of competing interpretations of Scripture, Validity in the Identification and Interpretation of a Literary Allusion in the Bible seeks to bring a measure of reason and methodological control back into the discussion. With that in mind, this work is heavily philosophical yet also deeply practical. By defining what literary allusions are and how they work, David Klingler seeks to provide some interpretive criteria for assessing the various claims about literary allusions in the Bible.

“Intertextuality is a hot topic among biblical interpreters. The diversity of definitions and methods can be overwhelming. David Klingler’s well-researched study brings clarity to the discussion. He surveys philosophical hermeneutics, provides an insightful critique of postmodern approaches, and interacts with various viewpoints regarding literary allusion. He develops a well-reasoned method for how to validate the presence of literary allusion and to articulate its relevance for interpretation. Klingler’s work is a must-read for biblical scholars.”
