Feminist theology and liberation theology both use deconstructionist methods in their biblical hermeneutic.

e.g. Elisabeth Schussler-Fiorenza, In Memory of Her: A Feminist Theological Reconstruction of Christian Origins (New York: Crossroad/London: SCM, 1983).

Boy, howdy. Anybody who'd use a hermeneutic on a Bible must is gotta gonna burn in Hell. Cain't we break down the wall between church and state long enough to make it illegal?

There are, of course, those who are extremely upset about the application of Reader Response Critical methods to biblical texts. This aggravation is a reflection of their great personal and emotional attachment to the texts. It has nonetheless been around for several decades and there has been some interesting work done using this method, e.g.

George Aichele, et al., The Postmodern Bible: The Bible and Culture Collective, New Haven: Yale University Press, 1995.

Darr, John A. On Character Building: The Reader and the Rhetoric of Characterization in Luke-Acts. Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1992.

Lodge, John G. Romans 9-11: A Reader-Response Analysis. Atlanta, GA: Scholars Press, 1996.

Moore, Stephen. Literary Criticism and the Gospels: The Theoretical Challenge. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1989.

Suleiman, Susan and Crosman, Inge. The Reader in the Text: Essays on Audience and Interpretation. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1980.

Tompkins, Jane, ed. Reader-Response Criticism: From Formalism to Post-Structuralism. Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 1980.
