Product Description

This book features essays by biblical scholars and theologians offering broad reflections on key interpretive issues, rich readings of challenging biblical texts, and interaction with the Christian exegetical tradition from Melito of Sardis to Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

The contributors to this volume are leading figures in the theological interpretation of Scripture. Mindful of the Bible’s role in relation to God’s purposes, people, and world, these essays together offer “acts of interpretation” that aim to advance the faithful and fruitful correlation of Scripture, theology, and culture.

Contributors: Craig G. Bartholomew, Hans Boersma, S. A. Cummins, Peter Enns, Stephen E. Fowl, Joel B. Green, Edith M. Humphrey, Charles Raith II, Christopher R. Seitz, Robert W. Wall, Jens Zimmermann.

Religious scholars explore avenues for understanding and interpreting the Bible in today's world, looking at interpretive frameworks; interpreting in accord with doctrine, canon, and literary form; and interpreting by reading in faithful company. Among the topics are a proposal for advancing the theological interpretation of scripture, Genesis 1:2 and the doctrine of creation, what is Catholic about the Catholic epistles collection, reading the Exodus story with Melito and Origen, and reading the Old Testament with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Most of the 10 essays are revisions of presentations in a lecture series from September 2013 to November 2014 at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia.
