About the Book

A New Era of Comparison in Biblical Studies: Case Studies in Applied Methodology provides a snapshot and assessment of the state of comparison in biblical studies and has significant implications for the future of the field. It is fitting that this book comes as an edited volume, because the future of academic comparison lies not with a single method but in a plurality of methods united by ethical concerns. The ten case studies in this volume represent a diverse set of approaches to comparative method as applied to a wide range of biblical and non-biblical materials—including Homer, the Qur’an, Icelandic sagas, and #MeToo tweets—all united by a shared concern over how and why scholars compare. The result is a varied yet intricately woven assessment of where the field of comparative studies in biblical studies is at and a sampling of where it might go in future decades.

Review :
Reading this volume is entering a space in which dialogue and reflection across subfields happens. The reader gets an expanded toolbox full of methods, a jewel box full of ideas, and an angel on the right shoulder giving hints for ethical conversing with each other and representing the other in our writing. This sort of work will strengthen the survival chances of the Humanities! This thought-provoking collection of essays shifts our study of the biblical texts into new pathways, where we can gain new insights from the adventurous work of interdisciplinary comparisons. I'm so delighted to see this volume appear! It makes some of the latest and most creative comparative work being done with the Bible available to a wide audience, and is framed with expert orientation to the state of the conversations.
