| Abstract: | The author of this article, (The Plurality of Audiences and the Polyphony of the Biblical Text in Brueggemann's Theology) discusses about the relationship between multiple audiences and the polyphony of the biblical text as it may be observed in Brueggeamann's interpretation of the Old Testament text. The paper discusses two important aspects, which are present in the interpretative paradigm proposed by Brueggemann. In the first part it is presented the relationship between the diversity of audiences, who are reading the biblical text, and the polyphonic character of it. In the second part, it will analyzed the way Brueggemann tries to reconciliate the polyphonic character of the text with its normative function for the community of faith. The author uses the courtroom language to demonstrate the internal tendency of the sacred text, to impose a certain alternative, from the multiple divergent testimonies which are present in it. It is what Brueggemann calls: the process of “adjudication”. |
