Christian Century, Jan 3, 2001 by Carol Newsom
If anything ties together the various strands of new approaches to biblical interpretation, it is a concern for the relationship of language, meaning and power. More historically oriented literary and social methods increasingly examine the ways in which issues of conflict and access to power can be traced in the texts of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. And cultural hermeneutics, though not uninterested in historical reconstruction, also focuses on the ways in which access to the power to interpret the text and construe its meaning serves to empower those who have traditionally been marginalized.
