About this video
Runtime: 37 minsSusan Gillingham talks about reception history and the Psalms. Reception history is a modern method in biblical studies that explores the diverse ways biblical texts have been interpreted and utilized across cultures and eras. It extends beyond traditional interpretations to include artistic, musical, and societal representations, showcasing the multifaceted nature of biblical texts. Unlike the history of interpretation, which seeks a singular, determinative meaning, reception history highlights the cultural impact and varied readings of texts like the Psalms. Psalm 137, for example, has been used as a lament in Jewish tradition and allegorically in Christianity, reflecting themes of exile and hope. This approach bridges historical-critical and contemporary literary studies, emphasizing multivalency and cultural context.
