Abstract

[There are two different levels of understanding that a reader can achieve when reading a biblical text, observes Danna Nolan Fewell and David Gunn. The first is derived “from looking at the text ‘from the outside in,’” but a second kind of understanding only occurs when the reader “enters” the text to discern at a deeper level. Their quote is worth reproducing in full:A certain kind of understanding comes from looking at the text “from the outside in” (that is, analyzing the text with any of various critical methodologies); yet another kind of understanding comes when, having done the analysis, one enters the text and “looks around inside” (that is, empathizes with the characters and relates to their experiences). It is this second step that can engage and transform the reader.1]
