Rendering the Word in Theological Hermeneutics

This publication proposes an unique typology for greedy the variations among different varieties of biblical interpretation, shaped in a triangle round a huge theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation among divine and human motion. regardless of their purported hindrance for interpreting God's be aware, most recent and postmodern methods to biblical interpretation don't heavily contemplate the position of divine enterprise as having a true effect in and at the means of interpreting Scripture.

Scrolls of Love: Ruth and the Song of Songs

Scrolls of affection is a publication of unions. Edited by way of a Jew and a Christian who're united by way of a shared ardour for the Bible and a standard literary hermeneutic, it joins biblical scrolls and gathers round them a various group of interpreters. It brings jointly Ruth and the track of Songs, probably disparate texts of the Hebrew Bible, and reads them via a few of the methodological and theological views.

New Avenues in the Study of the Old Testament, OTS 25 (Leiden, 1989),pp. 128-44, attempts to interpret 1 Sam. 4-6 and 2 Sam. 6 in a sixth-century context. The actual "themes" in 2 Sam. 6 are, after all, better explained in a more authentic, Davidic-Solomonic setting. Schmidt, "A Theologian of the Solomonic Era? 55-73. Schley, Shiloh: A Biblical Ciry in Tradition and History, JSOT SS 63 (Sheffield, 1989)(available to me only as a review in VT 42 (1992), pp. 143) seems once again to question the historical reliability of the statement that Kiriath-jearim was the Ark's point of departure.

Theories as to the course of events depend upon how one evaluates these texts in relation to one another. It is immediately apparent that DID JOAB CLIMB "WARREN'S SHAFT"? 39 we have to do with one and the same event. But there are notable differences, including the fact that 2 Sam contains the "special material" according to which the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the town, announce to David before the taking of the town that he cannot enter without removing the blind and the lame; we are also told that these blind and lame are hated by David, for which reason we are told that the blind and the lame may not come into the "house".

This complication does not nullify the otherwise firm connexion ofthe Ark with Shiloh. , the historical basis. In building up his empire, David consolidates his tribal-national foundation by bringing the old sacred symbol of the leading Northern tribes, Ephraim-Manasseh-Benjamin, to his new political and religious centre, Jerusalem. 20 Innovation is made in continuation. Jeremias, Die Reue Gottes. 19-38. 19 The magnifying expression in 2 Sam. 6: 1 evidently had a real background in the king's position and capacity as feudal lord during the early Davidic-Solomonic monarchy; see G.
