Textual ideology, textual practice: A discourse-centered approach to Protestant Bible study.

Textual ideology, textual practice: A discourse-centered approach to Protestant Bible study. - 251 p.

Adviser: Fredric M. Roberts.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 2007.

This dissertation examines the practice of small group Bible study among American Protestants. The analysis focuses on the relationship between the assumptions and expectations readers hold about the Bible (textual ideology) and their impact on various forms of discursive action (textual practice). I argue that the textual ideology surrounding the Bible acts as both a structuring mechanism in the discursive backdrop of group life, and an interactional strategy participants invoke in pursuit of specific hermeneutic and rhetorical aims.

520 $a This dissertation examines the practice of small group Bible study among American Protestants. The analysis focuses on the relationship between the assumptions and expectations readers hold about the Bible (textual ideology) and their impact on various forms of discursive action (textual practice). I argue that the textual ideology surrounding the Bible acts as both a structuring mechanism in the discursive backdrop of group life, and an interactional strategy participants invoke in pursuit of specific hermeneutic and rhetorical aims.
520 $a Small group Bible study is a key ethnographic site for observing how contemporary American Protestants interact with their sacred text. Bible study is the most common type of small group in U.S. society. More than 25 million Americans gather each week to read and discuss Biblical texts and related commentaries. Small groups play a unique and vital role as sites of knowledge production within Protestant communities. Unlike other congregational activities, Bible study is a site of open, critical dialogue where members engage in an active, reflective negotiation of their faith. Categories of belief, tradition, identity, and practice are reaffirmed and questioned in this context. How believers understand their relationship with the Bible is the form of knowledge most evident and central to Protestant ethos.
520 $a This dissertation is the result of 19 months of ethnographic fieldwork with 19 Bible study groups in six Protestant congregations. Based on the audio recording and observation of 324 meetings, as well as several complementary data collection techniques, I argue that the textual ideology surrounding the Bible consists of six well-articulated principles that address the authority, relevance, and textuality of the Bible.
520 $a Each of the three main analytical chapters considers a distinct form of discursive practice that unfolds in dynamic relation with these principles. First, groups employ three interpretive styles when reading the Bible: finding application, establishing meaning, and explaining Biblical texts through inferencing processes. Second, groups rely on shared and idiosyncratic interpretive resources, each of which embeds ideological principles. And, lastly, I analyze how group participants recontextualize the Bible. I argue that the preferred style of recontextualization works in conjunction with the predominant interpretive concerns in each setting.
520 $a This dissertation draws from discourse-centered, interpretive, and praxis frameworks in the anthropological tradition. The arguments I present contribute to debates surrounding the production of knowledge in institutional discourse, intertextual strategies, and practices of collective reading. This research also contributes to an emerging body of work on the anthropology of Christianity.
