Included in this volume are articles from across the landscape, spanning over one hundred years and including such authors as Franz Delitzsch, M.

  Psychological Biblical Criticism

  $22.00

  This volume provides an introduction to psychological interpretations of the Hebrew Bible_with the Garden of Eden story as a test case. It approaches the text from Freudian, Jungian, and Developmental psychologies, comparing and contrasting the different methods while taking on the hermeneutical issues. Ricoeur’s work is used to establish criteria for adequate interpretation.

  Genesis 3 presents a fruitful text for psychological interpretation given its importance in Western culture. Its themes of sexuality, guilt, consciousness, and alienation are issues of great concern for everyone in our society.
