Abstract
The idea of reading literature ‘against the grain’ has its origin in writings of the Marxist literary critic, W Benjamin. This paper commences with a brief examination of some of the important trends in Marxist literary theory. We then proceed to a detailed examination of the hermeneutical theory of IJ Mosala (1989), tracing its connections particularly with the working of T Eagleton. We conclude with a critique of Mosala’s exegesis of Micah and Luke.
