    The document discusses Bakhtin's view of dialogic truth and how it relates to biblical interpretation. Bakhtin believed truth was not fixed but rather emerged through dialogue between different voices and perspectives. The review explores how Bakhtin's ideas can offer insight into understanding the Bible as a polyphonic text containing multiple voices and perspectives rather than a single authoritative voice. Bakhtin's emphasis on dialogue and pluralism in determining meaning provides an alternative model to traditional biblical hermeneutics.
