“This work is a most welcome addition to previously published works on biblical exegesis.”—The Catholic Biblical Quarterly “For a quarter of a century, Steck’s guide to exegetical methods as practiced by himself and other German-speaking scholars has served to train advanced students. Many of them have learned here the techniques of source criticism and the meaning of tradition history.…James Nogalski, who himself promotes the type of analysis advocated and explained in Steck’s book, has produced an excellent translation.”—International Review of Biblical Studies
“This is a thoroughly revised and well-translated edition of a work that is considered standard in Germany for historical-critical analyses. The treatment of each respective approach is basically the same: the task of the approach is first identified and then carefully described; the approach is related to other historical-critical approaches; bibliography is included. The entire interpretive process is illustrated through the analysis of Genesis 28:10–22. The book is a valuable tool for students of biblical analysis.”—Bible Today
“Textual, literary, transmission-historical, redaction-historical, form, and tradition-historical approaches to critical methodology are well covered.”—Choice Enjoy this great book!
