Product Description

▼▲

Biblical Hermeneutics: Five Views bring together a distinguished panel of experts to state and defend their approach to the discipline. Keying each perspective to a specific text, Matthew 2.7-15, each contributor draws out their how their approach to the discipline of hermeneutics would affect the interpretation and consequently elucidate the meaning of the Matthew pericope.

The result is a riveting and mind bending exploration of how to read the biblical text from multiple approaches each of which remains congruent with Christian belief.

Contributors Include:

Craig Blomberg (historical-critical/grammatical approach)
Richard Gaffin (redemptive-historical approach)
Scott Spencer (literary/postmodern approach)
Robert Wall (canonical approach)
Merold Westphal with the philosophical/theological approach

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"This is an undoubtedly interesting volume. The contributors describe their methodologies clearly and largely succeed in making the abstract and theoretical nature of the subject matter accessible." -- Jonathan Kearney, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, 35(5)

"Biblical Hermeneutics is a welcome addition to the often labyrinthine discussion of biblical interpretation. Each essay is clearly and astutely written, and the congenial tone of the contributors is refreshing." -- Andrea L. Robinson, Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry, Fall 2013

"The dialogue between these five views presents a basic hermeneutical conversation in a very accessible way. . . . Academics, students of biblical studies, and pastors will find this a helpful addition to their libraries." -- Matthew James Hamilton, Bible Study Magazine, September/October 2012
