Opis

This book defines interpretation and examines the special issues that surround biblical interpretation. The authors analyze the development of traditional literary and historical criticism and more recent social, scientific, and literary approaches, focusing on the key figures from Reimarus to Gerd Theissen, and exposing the underlying theological issues. They reveal a pattern in the relationship between religious interests in the texts and the rational methods used to interpret them, providing guidance for a theologically sensitive use of the Bible today. The book includes an annotated index with detailed information on over two hundred fifty biblical scholars and other interpreters.

Recenzje

a welcome addition to the rapidly expanding collection of works of and on biblical hermeneutics ... the entire book is a joint effort insofar as each author has had the opportunity to review the other's work ... Thus the volume appears as a unified rather than as a collection of essays. Biblical Interpretation is a trove which any professor of biblical studies will gladly add to his or her own reading list.
