Scripturalizing the Human

Scripturalizing the Human is a transdisciplinary collection of essays that reconceptualizes and models "scriptural studies" as a critical, comparative set of practices with broad ramifications for scholars of religion and biblical studies. Contributors use the category of "scriptures"¿understood not simply as texts, but as freighted shorthand for the dynamics and ultimate politics of language¿as tools for self-illumination and self-analysis.
