Rhetorical Criticism: Context, Method, and the Book of Jonah

  • Author: Phyllis Trible
  • Publisher: Augsburg Fortress
  • Publication Date: 1995
  • Pages: 280

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Phyllis Trible examines rhetorical criticism as a discipline within biblical studies. In Part One, she surveys the historical antecedents of the method from ancient times to the postmodern era: classical rhetoric, literary critical theory, literary study of the Bible, and form criticism. Trible then presents samples of rhetorical analysis as the art of composition and as the art of persuasion.

In Part Two, formulated guidelines are applied to a detailed study of the book of Jonah. A close reading with respect to structure, syntax, style, and substance elicits a host of meanings embedded in text, enabling the relationship between artistry and theology to emerge with clarity.

This book was written on several levels and will engage a range of readers to their benefit. I refrain from comment [on the contents] lest I spoil the surprise—and delight—for the reader. Suffice it to say that the book itself is an example of rhetoric.

—Gene M. Tucker, associate professor of Old Testament, Emory University

God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality

  • Author: Phyllis Trible
  • Publisher: Augsburg Fortress
  • Publication Date: 1986
  • Pages: 206

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Focusing on texts in the Hebrew Bible, and using feminist hermeneutics, Phyllis Trible brings out what she considers to be neglected themes and counter literature.

After outlining her method in more detail, she begins by highlighting the feminist imagery used for God; then she moves on to traditions embodying male and female within the context of the goodness of creation. If Genesis 2–3 is a love story gone awry, the Song of Songs is about sexuality redeemed in joy. In between lies the book of Ruth, with its picture of the struggles of everyday life.

Trible’s brilliant rhetorical criticism, her diligent study of the Hebrew text, and her clarity about feminist hermeneutics, have indeed uncovered the lost token of faith within Scripture.

Texts of Terror: Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives

  • Author: Phyllis Trible
  • Series: Overtures to Biblical Theology Series
  • Publisher: Augsburg Fortress
  • Publication Date: 1984
  • Pages: 148

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Professor Trible focuses on four variations upon the theme of terror in the Bible. By combining the discipline of literary criticism with the hermeneutics of feminism, she reinterprets the tragic stories of four women in ancient Israel: Hagar, Tamar, an unnamed concubine, and the daughter of Jephthah. In highlighting the silence, absence, and opposition of God, as well as human cruelty, Trible shows how these neglected stories—interpreted in memoriam—challenge both the misogyny of Scripture and its use in church, synagogue, and academy.

The approach of Phyllis Trible in her book Texts of Terror is a sophisticated attempt to grapple with [negative texts]. . . calling the reader to identify with biblical women both in their oppression and in their struggle for freedom. . . . Trible enables an engagement with these biblical narratives which is both profound and challenging.

—Paul M. Joyce, lecturer of theology, University of Oxford
