Against the uncritical practice of modernist reading marked by individualism and romantic spirituality, Chaney has insisted on the materiality of the Bible and its defining concern for political economy. The essays in this volume bear witness to his thought and growing conviction about this radical interpretive reorientation. The collection is of immense importance not only for historical reason, but because it constitutes a wake-up call in our own highly contested political economy to read the Bible knowingly and critically. Our debt to Chaney is very great for bringing these great essays back into our contemporary conversation. They continue to challenge our reading habits in important ways."" --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary Marvin L. Chaney is Nathaniel Gray Professor of Hebrew Exegesis and Old Testament at San Francisco Theological Seminary (emeritus). In addition to his articles and essays, he published Biblical Israel through an Agrarian Lens (in Korean), and coedited Distant Voices Drawing Near, and Reading a Tendentious Bible.
