I therefore submit that Gadamer’s description illumines only if the theological concepts to which he appeals are not merely notional but operative. In short: Gadamer’s description of the hermeneutical condition ultimately fails unless it employs Christian categories and makes them not simply illustrative but operational.

For Augustine, the analogy between physical and mental light not only illustrates but explains how the mind comes to know things: Christ is the light in, by, and through whom all intelligible things are illumined. Illumination is the operative term. Yet it need not imply that human subjects are merely passive recipients. Augustine suggests that the human mind participates in the divine light. ”91 It is Christ, according to Augustine, who shines in all that’s meaningful. “I am illumined” and “I understand” are thus middle-voiced terms.

I]t is the matter of the text which gives the reader his dimension of subjectivity” (HHS, p. 94, emphasis mine). Though Ricoeur does not employ the term, I think it is fair to say that here too, with the notion of a self-presenting Sache or self-manifesting matter, the event of understanding is a miracle. ). The Ethiopian in Acts 8 eventually understands what he is reading. He understands the divine as well as the human authorial discourse, led as he is by Philip and the Holy Spirit to see what Isaiah’s text is really about.
