Philology and Theory: Exodus 12:21-27 as a Case Study (original) (raw)

Vetus Testamentum, 2019

Abstract

Using Exod 12:21-27 as a case study, this paper shows how literary analysis can find itself subordinated to historical-critical theory. It will be argued that this practice is ill advised. An established reading of a text should never be dismissed when it is found to challenge accepted paradigms. It is, rather, the presumed historical and social settings that must be problematized.
