Intertexuality (the reading of one text in terms of another) is a diverse practice. It is a central and prevalent subject in post-structuralist literary theory. This is the first book to address intertexuality as it relates specifically to interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. The contributors bring together lucid theoretical discussions and sophisticated interpretations from a variety of backgrounds, offering biblical scholars and students a helpful and thorough introduction to the issues and possibilities of tertexuality. This volume encourages the bringing together of texts in new and creative ways and lends greater clarity as discussions of intertextuality and biblical studies proceed.
