Moore (New Testament, Drew U.) has drawn together 16 essays and articles from throughout his long career in biblical studies to epitomize his thinking and contributions to the field. They cover postmodernity, textuality, autobiography, masculinity, sexuality, postcoloniality, and post-theory. Each section closes with a list of further reading. Specific topics include biblical studies and the postmodernism debate, whether there are impurities in the living water that the Johannine Jesus dispenses, the divine butcher, Yahweh's body, sex and the single apostle, questions of biblical ambivalence and authority under a tree outside Delhi, and a modest manifesto for New Testament literary criticism.
