I'd be delighted to dialogue with you on this. <BR/><BR/>I read Barton's book four years ago, before I knew anything about Childs. From what I remember he claimed it was not much more that the New Criticism, form of literary reading. Am I right? If that's the case, this post would be a corrective!<BR/><BR/>One prediction Barton made certainly hasn't materialized. He claimed that Childs' approach would never find acceptance on German soil. Germany is in fact the country which has in recent years shown the most interest in the subject.

Barton are the two greatest challenges Childs ever faced. They are the sharpest of thinkers. Childs constantly thinks they misunderstand his work, but it is important to engage them. If you want I could try and hunt down the bibliography I have from the paper I wrote on the Barr-Childs debate. For Barton's critique see his Reading the Old Testament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
