Isaiah's Vision and the Family of God by Katheryn Pfisterer Darr
Using a pragmatic, reader-orientated approach and informed by contemporary theory of metaphor and related topics, Katheryn Darr examines the meaning and functions of child and female imagery for sequential readers of the Isaiah scroll in its entirety. Having identified the associated commonplaces surrounding such tropes--a necessary task if one is to construe the figurative language of another society and culture competently--she turns specifically to rebellious child and personified city (and nation) imagery. The Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation series explores current trends within the discipline of biblical interpretation by dealing with the literary qualities of the Bible: the play of its language, the coherence of its final form, and the relationships between text and readers. Biblical interpreters are being challenged to take responsibility for the theological, social, and ethical implications of their readings. This series encourages original readings that breach the confines of traditional biblical criticism.
Katheryn Pfisterer Darr is Professor of Hebrew Bible at the Boston University School of Theology in Boston, Massachusetts. She was a 1989winner of Boston University's prestigious Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching. She is the author of several books, essays, and articles.
