Prosopological Exegesis

Prosopological Exegesis is a category for books that study or employ the “speech-in-character” method of interpretation, in which readers identify the implicit speaker (prosopon) in a text—often within the Psalms and Prophets—so that Scripture is read as a dialogue among distinct voices (for example, Christ, the Father, the Spirit, Israel, the Church, or the psalmist). Drawing on Greco-Roman rhetorical concepts and developed prominently by early Christian interpreters, this approach explores who is speaking to whom and the theological implications of those assignments, especially for christology and trinitarian theology. Books in this category include methodological introductions, historical surveys of patristic and medieval usage, case studies and commentaries that mark voice shifts, and contemporary debates about the strengths and limits of the method. It serves readers in biblical studies, patristics, hermeneutics, and theology who are interested in the dramatic, dialogical reception of Scripture.
