title: Canon and Exegesis: Canonical Praxis and the Sodom Narrative (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
author:  William John Lyons 
description: "At every point, Lyons provides painstaking reviews of the scholarly literature, reporting faithfully at least two sides of many interpretive and conceptual issues....the overall effect...is of a scrupulous scholar attempting to read a 'canonical' text in the company of a scholarly community....wading through Lyons' richly-annotated survey will excite readers eager for a complete bibliography on canonical criticism and scholarship on Genesis 18-19....represent[s] a balanced example of non-foundationalist, scholarly, and theological exegesis."<br />Brian Britt, Journal of Hebrew Scriptures 2003-2004<br /><br />

  BibleWorld shares the fruits of modern (and postmodern) biblical scholarship not 
  only among practitioners and students, but also with anyone interested in what 
  academic study of the Bible means in the twenty-rst century. It explores our 
  ever-increasing knowledge and understanding of the social world that produced 
  the biblical texts, but also analyses aspects of the bible’s role in the history of our 
  civilization and the many perspectives – not just religious and theological, but 
  also cultural, political and aesthetic – which drive modern biblical scholarship.
