Sommario/riassunto

Following Bakhtin's theory of language as dialogue, Reed shows how the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament dramatize a set of verbal encounters between God and his people. His analysis of dialogic patterns frames discussion of prophecy, wisdom and gospel as models of divine communication.
