"This is a most interesting way of approaching the whole terrain of hermeneutics. I often found myself seeing things from a new and rewarding angle. One of the interesting elements of the discussion is the way in which interpretation of the biblical text is brought into dialogue with interpretation of non-biblical texts--and, indeed, with interpretation of things other than texts. There is a lot of learning evident in the book. The learning is draped gracefully over the shoulder; but it is there."--Nicholas Wolterstorff, author of John Locke and the Ethics of Belief "Kort's writing renders his archaeology of the most difficult philosophers in the West into a remarkably easy read--and his rhetorical gentleness renders a radical argument into a deceptively natural reading. The book has transformatory impact because Kort has, in convincing fashion, rewritten the intellectual history of postmodern academe."--Peter Ochs, author of Reading Peirce's Pragmatism: Philosophy, Theology, and the Logic of Scripture This is a most interesting way of approaching the whole terrain of hermeneutics.

Reseña del editor:
This book deals with the role of the category of "scripture" within adequate theories of textuality and culture. Wesley Kort is interested in the practice of reading a text as though it were scripture. Beginning with John Calvin's theory of reading, Kort shows that the theory and practice of reading as detailed by Calvin are applied to other texts that begin to be read as scripture and eventually, in the modern period, replace the reading of the Bible as scripture. These alternative texts are, beginning in the sixteenth century, nature, then, in the early eighteenth century, history, and, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, literature. Kort argues that what we take as modernity is based on a practice of reading, not in what it means to read, but in what texts are read as scripture. He argues that the postmodernist attempt not to read anything at all as scripture is an illusion that the theories of reading of Maurice Blanchot and Julia Kristeva expose. In conclusion, Kort raises the question of what it might mean today to again read the Bible as though it were scripture, that is, to read the Bible with practices indicated by Blanchot and Kristeva.
