Genesis and the Real World

Genesis and the Real World is an article by David L Roth (from Van Halen??) that appeared in Kerux.

I really like the realist approach that Roth takes. His article sets up an productive intersection between the text as literature, as communication, and our frame of reference. I think his work contains some fresh ideas; partly because of the realist reference frame he seeks, and partly because he confronts the role of literary composition in written communication: he identifies authorial intentionalization as a controlling element for the reader.

However, I think the cross of the literary realism he presents and the actual real world as the setting for God's glory and therefore the commencement of the realist stream of biblical history could be where criticism of his work could be made; and where critique could bear fruit for all points of view.
