Summary: A Man for All Seasons
Comment: This is a brilliant work on the narrative complexity of the Gospels--brilliant in both its hermeneutics and semiotics. What is especially valuable is the level of comprehension. Kermode does not resort to lofty diatribes to further enshroud the delicate polemics of biblical narrative, but instead relies on varied and astute scholarship which he communicates clearly to almost any reader. A wonderful resource for narrative theory in general to understand how meaning is related and hidden.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Great Resource
Comment: Kermode's book has the rare trait of combining academic insight with easy accessibility. Unlike much modern criticism, it asks why we interpret texts rather than merely describing how we (should) do it. The examples are clear and appropriate. The secular view of scripture may put off some, but Kermode's insight into the narrative structure of the Bible will prove useful even to those who don't share his views. The chapter comparing Mark's gospel to James Joyce's Ulysses is a classic, and is especially useful for use in beginning literature classes
