Defending Hope

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In the maze of discussion about the nature of textuality and meaning, Justin Langford draws from the work of German semiotician Stefan Alkier as a way forward. Langford provides a clear summary of the fields of semiotics and intertextuality as well as a synopsis of Alkier's methodology, particularly as it was influenced by Charles Peirce and Umberto Eco. Alkier's method applied to Peter's use of Isaiah provides fresh insight into the function of those quotations within Peter's argument.”

“Son does an admirable job of pulling together narrative methodology and an intertextual awareness of the sources to give a fresh and compelling understanding of John's song of Moses and the Lamb.”
