The book introduces readers to six distinct methodologies that aid in the interpretation of the book of Exodus: literary and rhetorical, genre, source and redaction, liberation, feminist, and postcolonial criticisms. Describing each methodology, the volume also explores how the different methods relate to and complement one another. Each chapter includes a summary of the hermeneutical presuppositions of a particular method with a summary of the impact of the method on the interpretation of the book of Exodus.

Methods for Matthew
by Mark Allan PowellToday's biblical scholars study the Gospel of Matthew with a wide variety of methods that yield diverse and exciting insights. Methods for Matthew offers a primer on six exegetical approaches that have proved to be especially useful and popular. In each case, a prominent scholar describes the principles and procedures of a particular approach and then demonstrates how that approach works in practice, applying it to a well-known text from Matthew's Gospel. As an added bonus, each of the chosen texts is treated to three different interpretations so that the reader can easily compare the results obtained through one approach to those obtained through other approaches. The reader will learn a great deal about two stories from Matthew ("the healing of a centurion's servant" and "the resurrection of Jesus") and the reader will also learn enough about each of these six approaches to understand their function in biblical studies today.

Mi Voz, Mi Vida: Latino College Students Tell Their Life Stories
by Andrew Garrod Robert Kilkenny Christina GomezGarrod (education, Dartmouth College), Kilkenny (social work, Simmons College, Boston), and Goméz (sociology and Latino studies, Northeastern Illinois U. , Chicago) present a collection of 15 first-person narratives by Latino college students, aged 18 to 22, who attended Dartmouth; all but one of the essays was written within the last four years. The authors reflect on formative relationships and influences, life-changing events, and factors that helped shape their values, educational outcomes, and sense of personal identity. The text does not focus on Dartmouth per se or on its educational impact on the students, but rather on their evolving lives and Latino identities. The contributions are grouped into four major themes from the essays-- resilience, biculturalism, mentoring, and identity. For educators, college administrators, students and their families.
