According to Bakhtin dialogue is the essential symbolic medium through which all social relations are necessarily constituted. This must be seen against the background of a literary approach which is not comprehensive enough. There are different forms of dialogue in and with the Bible. The dialogics of the New Testament is more complex than that of the poetics of the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament develops a new form of dialogue when compared with the poetics of the Hebrew Bible. The dialogue within the Bible should also be situated in the context of intertextuality. Interpretation is also a practical affair with a political element in it. Dialogue with the Bible is not only a one way movement to the Bible, but the Bible can also contradict and surprise the reader.
The brutal and relentless persecution of the Roma, unleashed soon after their arrival in Europe, has been one of the greatest crimes of history. Hopes that the 'enlightenment' that so strongly condemned the Nazi's genocidal policies would finally enable this peaceful people to take its rightful place in the family of women have proved tenuous. Today the persecution of the Roma continues; in Eastern Europe, particularly, its virulence generates fears of a new Holocaust. Children of the Rainbow tells the story of Branko, a survivor of Auschwitz, who sets out to liberate his people and to fulfil their secret yearnings for reunification in their mysterious homeland. Romanestan. And he comes to hear of the 'Gypsy Bible', the holy scripture that made the Roma a great people, but which, according to oral tradition, perished in the mire of time. A Bible miraculously reclaimed, by a seer, from the collective memory of the Roma as they stood before the crematoria of Auschwitz. A Bible hidden and awaiting discovery. A Bible that prophesies his leadership. A Bible that will regenerate his people. That will reunite them. That will lead them to Romanestan... And Branko finds this Bible...
The Bible, as you know, is not merely a collection of books: It is a divine library. It was written during the course of some fifteen centuries, and forty or more authors contributed to it, some of whom we know, some we do not know. It is a book of wonderful variety. There are beautiful love stories which reflect the tenderness and most delicate of human passions; there are stories of political intrigue and maneuvering which rival anything we know in the 20th Century. The whole book is the glorious story of how God became flesh, the immortal became mortal, and the Eternal One became a temporal being like us, for a while, in becoming man. In the story which gathers around this theme, God has incorporated all the truths we need to know about ourselves. In summarizing the Panorama Bible, I found out that, the purpose of revelation aims at the maturing of all of us as individual believers in Christ until, together; we come to fullness of stature and the complete expression of Jesus Christ in the world. It takes the entire Bible to accomplish this, and it takes the work of the Holy Spirit in interpreting this Scripture to us. Revelation, in the full sense, is really Scripture interpreted by the Holy Spirit. We have this book, which was given to us by God, as Paul declared to Timothy: "All scripture is inspired by God," (2 Tim 3:16a RSV). It did not originate with man. Man is only the channel it has come through. "Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit," Peter says, (1 Pet 1:21). The writers of the New Testament sat down and wrote letters, just as we would write them today, expressing their feelings, their reactions, their attitudes, and their ideas in the most natural and uncomplicated manner.
