Martin regularly reads Biblical interpretation and ancient Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman history in ways that remind me of how Foucault reads history. You may disagree, even deeply, with his reading. It’s never boring, though. Martin is an anti-foundationalist. I am not. But this book so consistently made me think more deeply about Scripture, Biblical interpretation, Biblical interpreters, the Church, and the formation of Christian ethics that it deserves the highest marks from me. And some further reading, including a few rereads of chapters here. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Probing into numerous questions about gender and sexuality, Dale Martin delves into the biblical texts anew and unearths surprising findings. Avoiding preconceptions about ancient sexuality, he explores the ethics of desire and marriage and pays careful attention to the original meanings of words, especially those used as evidence of Paul's opposition to homosexuality. For example, after a remarkably faithful reading of the scriptural texts, Martin concludes that our contemporary obsession with marriage--and the whole search for the "right" sexual relationships--is antithetical to the message of the gospel. In all of these essays, however, Martin argues for engaging Scripture in a way that goes beyond the standard historical-critical questions and the assumptions of textual agency in order to find a faith that has no foundations other than Jesus Christ.
