Nicholls introduces Anglophone readers to Blumenberg s biography and to his philosophical contexts. He elucidates Blumenberg s theory of myth by relating it to three...

The movement that is known as 'theological interpretation of Scripture' reminds us that the reading and exegesis of Scripture is an indispensable part of the theologian's work, not to be reserved to biblical scholars alone.
