In recent years theologians and biblical scholars have begun to delve into the insights that come from the application of psychology to biblical texts. While these methods continue to be useful and popular, nowhere have the 'foundational' texts in the field been collected. Wayne Rollins and Andrew Kille, who have both published and taught widely in the area of psychological biblical criticism, have assembled an excellent guide for those interested in this fascinating topic. Included in this anthology are articles from across the landscape, spanning over one hundred years and including such authors as Franz Delitzsch, M. Scott Fletcher, Max Weber, Walter Wink, and many other scholars. Wayne G. Rollins is professor emeritus of biblical studies at Assumption College, Worcester, Massachusetts, and adjunct professor of Scripture at Hartford Seminary, Hartford, Connecticut. D. Andrew Kille is director of Interfaith Space, an organization that develops and supports interfaith relationships in the San Francisco Bay Area. An ordained minister in the American Baptist Churches, USA, he is the author of Psychological Biblical Criticism. |
