For many Bible readers who are asked to “exegeze” a passage from the Old Testament, the instruction given remains somewhat mysterious. Where to start ? What approach should you take? Written in a pragmatic spirit, this work guides the reader by offering concrete methods illustrated by numerous examples, all accompanied by indications of well-chosen resources, including on the Internet. The book concludes with practical advice for moving from exegesis to sermon. Preachers, students, and other attentive Bible readers will find it an opportunity to update their knowledge of exegetical techniques.
This book invites you to a progressive initiation. The first level, accessible without knowledge of Hebrew, addresses the following themes: literary genre, literary context, geographical, historical and sociocultural context, structure, narrative analysis, intertextuality, canonical context and reception. The second level focuses on translation, textual criticism and editorial analysis.
