Description

Samson and Delilah. Well-known biblical figures in a tale of deception, betrayal and a haircut. Or is there more to the tale than this? There is, in fact, a good deal more, as J. Cheryl Exum demonstrates in her wide-ranging collection of essays. Far from being a simple story, the tale in Judges 13–16 about Samson and his adventures, culminating in his fatal liaison with Delilah, is a subtle, nuanced and highly complex narrative with an elaborate literary structure, a sophisticated theological programme, and an ambitious and problematic androcentric agenda. It is, moreover, a story that lives on in literature, art, music and even Hollywood films. The eleven essays brought together in this volume investigate the Samson story from a diversity of critical perspectives and in a variety of its afterlives. Both Samson and Delilah are characters of many facets, as these essays reveal, and Judges 13–16 emerges from this investigation as a story that encourages and supports rather than resists multiple, often incompatible, modes of reading it. Review Cheryl Exum knows as much about the intricacies of Judges as anyone could know, as this extraordinary corpus of her research on Samson and Delilah demonstrates. In addition to its rich insights, the collection highlights the shifting nature of biblical studies refracted through the innovative explorations of a preeminent scholar. The whole is indeed greater than the sum of its fascinating parts. David M. Gunn, A. A. Bradford Professor Emeritus of Religion, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas
