Disciplining Hermeneutics: Interpretation in Christian Perspective

Navigating Interpretation’s Narrow Straits

Ten scholars examine Christian hermeneutics in a postmodern context. Philosophy, English, sociology, and theology each receive an essay and response. Their varied approaches seek a path between absolute certainty and interpretive license. A timely collection for readers engaging contemporary interpretive theory.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The question of interpretation is as old as language itself. In today's postmodern context, however, the task of hermeneutics has become frustratingly complex. This timely collection of essays by ten leading scholars explores the diversity of contemporary Christian hermeneutical theory and practice. The format of the book consists of a major essay and a response in each of four disciplines—philosophy, English, sociology, and theology—leading to differences in definition and practice, but with the common framework of a Christian perspective. In their insightful handling of the most challenging contemporary issues and literature on interpretive theory, the authors seek to negotiate the narrow straits between absolute certainty and interpretive license. And as they chart the turbulent waters of the postmodern world, they serve as savvy guides to assist us in our difficult passage to the truth.
