Theology Today - Vol 48, No.4 - January 1992 - BOOK NOTES - The Bible and the Literary Critic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Nonagenarian Amos Wilder, Hollis Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Harvard Divinity School, poet, scholar, and a marvelous human being, offers us eleven essays, most written in the 1980s. |
 | | Wilder is the pioneer student of the poetics of biblical language, and the hallmark of his contribution is his unveiling of the indissoluble linkage between the modalities of language, meaning, and life in a world constructed and lived in through language. |
 | | For insights into where we have come from, where we are, where we might be going, and how we must do it, there is much wisdom to gain from The Bible and the Literary Critic, which is vastly more exciting and imaginative than its title suggests. |
