The Biblical Worldview (Against All Others)

The Biblical Worldview (Against All Others)

Introduction. Let me begin with a few lines from T. S. Eliot: “Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, but ignorance of the Word.

A Review of ‘Invitation to Biblical Interpretation’

A Review of ‘Invitation to Biblical Interpretation’

“Hermeneutics is not just the art and science of how to interpret, but is also reflection on how we already interpret.  This is tacitly acknowledged on page 65 n.22 where there is a suggestion made to meditate on passages in the Psalms and Isaiah before interpreting.  But they quickly go on to affirm the importance of “the literary and linguistic aspects of the biblical material” (66).  This point is well taken, but it is in the employment of these aspects within a theological matrix that is often the problem.”
