On Speculative Fiction: What constitutes speculative fiction?
This post is taken from a chapter of a short book called “On Speculative Fiction” that I am working on. If you would like to know when the book has been published and receive a free copy of the eBook, please sign up here:
Genre
With reference to a biblical text of your choosing, critically assess the role of genre in biblical interpretation.
Different types of literature can be categorised by their form, style or content. This is known as genre. The meaning of the text is embedded within the genre. The Bible contains literature from a number of genres. After providing a description of genre, I will assess its role in biblical interpretation using a pericope from Mark’s Gospel to demonstrate how genre impacts reading and meaning. I will conclude with describing the effect that genre has on teaching from this text.
