Sobre IBD

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.

  • Tracing the Essay
    G. Douglas Atkins
    The essay, as a notably hard form of writing to pin down, has inspired some unflattering descriptions: It is a greased pig, for example, or a pair of baggy pants into which nearly anything and everything can fit.

  • Scripturalectics
    Vincent L. Wimbush
    In this book, Vincent Wimbush seeks to problematize what we call 'scriptures,' a word first used to refer simply to 'things written,' the registration of basic information. In the modern world the word came to be associated almost exclusively with the center- and power-defining 'sacred' texts of 'world religions.' Wimbush argues that this narrowing of the valence of the term wa...
