So I am posting this blog entry in the hope it will not only be a brilliant topic of discussion but also that Christina and I might be able to prove Morten wrong!
How Important is the role of that "authorial intention" plays (if any) when analysing ancient texts?
This debate derives rom a theory developed and discussed by Elizabeth Clark in chapter 8 of History, Theory, Text: Historians and the Linguistic Turn (p162ff). This is a great booster topic for us third cycles and super great for the 4th cyclers who have just spent 2 weeks studying this!
Get debating!!!
So, which one of you thinks I would right a description of Christianity the same way both if I want to warn readers against it and if I want them to become Christians? =))) Do I understand the topic of discussion correctly?
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was "write a description".
