ISBN10: 0567080730, ISBN13: 9780567080738, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, Edinburgh] Softcover Paperback. Philip Davies argues that the Bible may belong to the church or synagogue as an instrument of religious practice, but as an object of academic study it belongs to the world as a whole and as such can function in theory and practice as a secular discourse. A number of exegetical studies suggests that a genuinely academic discourse about biblical writingsone that distances itself from received canons of interpretationcan expose a subtext of deceit within the Creation narratives, re-conceptualize the relationship between Abraham and his deity, reveal lament psalms as texts of oppression, and identify the death of Daniel's God.In a new chapter, Davies evaluates how the film Monty Python's Life of Brian contributes to "life of Jesus" research. Here is a challenge to conventional biblical scholarship and a bid to define and establish a genuine academic discipline of biblical studies. A controversial examination by an eminent scholar in the field of how biblical studies may function as a secular discourse, in theory and in practice.
