Summary: interpret the text as the best it can be
Comment: For those looking for revolutionary new methods in biblical interpretation, this isn't the book for you. For those looking for well-articulated reasons for adopting a hermeneutics of affirmation -- and interesting, engaging textual interpretations to demonstrate the appeal of such an approach -- then this book is more-than-adequate to the task.

Patrick and Scult argue for interpreting the biblical text as "the best text it can be" and offer multi-faceted criteria (drawn from biblical and rhetorical studies) that might reveal the text in its possibilities for greatness. This book is a solid tribute to what is best in both authors' academic traditions, and to the sheer pleasure of reading.
