TL;DR: The Venetian merchant Antonio recoils from Shylock's chronicle, arguing that Jacob was not blessed as a result of his "thrift(y)" success but rather that his success was a consequence of his blessedness: "This was a venture, sir, that Jacob served for, / A thing not in his power to bring to pass / But sway'd and fashion'd by the hand of heaven" (1.3.91-93) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The skillful shepherd pill'd me certain wands, And in the doing of the deed of kind, He stuck them up before the fulsome ewes, Who then conceiving did in eaning time Fall parti-color'd lambs, and those were Jacob's. This was a way to thrive, and he was blest; And thrift is blessing, if men steal it not. 1 The Venetian merchant Antonio recoils from Shylock's chronicle, arguing that Jacob was not blessed as a result of his "thrift(y)" success but rather that his success was a result of his blessedness: "This was a venture, sir, that Jacob served for, / A thing not in his power to bring to pass / But sway'd and fashion'd by the hand of heaven" (1.3.91-93). One of many moments that call attention to the characters' competing modes of literary and legal interpretation, the scene has functioned for a long time as the touchstone for critical accounts of the way the play dramatizes the triumph, however complicated, of Christian over Hebraic biblical exegesis and of the new law over the old. 2 In such accounts Shylock's understanding of the Genesis story is made to yield to Christian typological principles that identify Jacob as both Old Testament patriarch and type of Christ. In a recent essay, for instance, Julia Reinhard Lupton suggests that Shylock's para- phrase of the biblical story, handling as it does "the social and economic challenges of everyday life in an ethical, Torah-based manner," represents Shakespeare's version of midrashic commentary, a way of reading that is quickly negated by the Christian community of Venice: "It is not simply that Shylock's Jewish hermeneutics are rejected in favor of Christian techniques, but rather that the very possibility of imagining a specifically Jewish community of readers

TL;DR: The following bibliography had its origins in the Catholic Biblical Association task force on New Testament Exegesis and the Social Sciences as discussed by the authors, and each year since 1980 has prepared an annual bibliography supplementing my article.
Abstract: sciences to interpret biblical texts and related phenomena. The professional associations such as the Catholic Biblical Association and the Society of Biblical Literature have sponsored groups in such research for several years. There has been a steady stream of publications in this area. The following bibliography had its origins in the Catholic Biblical Association task force on New Testament Exegesis and the Social Sciences. Each year since 1980 I have prepared an annual bibliography supplementing my article &dquo;Sociological Concepts and the Early Church: A Decade of Research,&dquo; [Theological Studies 41 (1980) 181-190].

At the editor’s suggestion I have integrated and classified the annual bibliographies into

TL;DR: The sociological approach in biblical studies provides an important cross-disciplinary supplement to more traditional methodologies and tools for exegesis as discussed by the authors, which can help translators to visualize items referred to in the biblical text.
Abstract: This chapter considers basic areas of biblical studies long recognized as crucial for understanding of the biblical texts: lexical and grammatical studies, historical-critical studies, textual criticism, source and redaction criticism, and archaeology. It looks at some areas that received special attention in the second half of the twentieth century: canonical criticism, intertestamental studies and intertextuality. Archaeological discoveries continue to shed light on biblical religion and daily life. Pictures of excavations and artefacts can help translators to visualize items referred to in the biblical text. Source criticism of the Old Testament is one of the oldest of the critical methodologies. Post-colonial criticism is a relatively recent approach to reading the Bible, though the imperatives and underlying emotions that it expresses are as old as the Bible itself. The sociological approach in biblical studies provides an important cross-disciplinary supplement to more traditional methodologies and tools for exegesis.
