Summary: An excellent introduction to Biblical interpretation.
Comment: Barton's book would serve as a fine introduction to any student interested in practical application of source, form, redaction, or structuralist criticism to the Bible. Barton's prose is lucid, his examples extraordinary. His discussion of structuralism is the clearest demonstration that I have read. The book suffers from two flaws. First, Barton's book was written prior to the time when deconstruction became a trendy approach to scripture. Thus, students should be aware the structuralism has transformed into another approach more suited for the nihilistic climate of our age. Second, for those of us who believe that God is speaking to us through his word, Barton leaves little hope. He concludes that future study should focus on the act of reading rather than the mimetic relationship between text and man. While perhaps an intriguing scholarly study, it does little for those of us seeking to know God more fully.
