Rendering the Word in Theological Hermeneutics

This ebook proposes an unique typology for greedy the variations among different sorts of biblical interpretation, formed in a triangle round a massive theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation among divine and human motion. regardless of their purported trouble for interpreting God's note, most up-to-date and postmodern techniques to biblical interpretation don't heavily ponder the function of divine enterprise as having a true effect in and at the strategy of interpreting Scripture.

Scrolls of affection is a publication of unions. Edited by way of a Jew and a Christian who're united through a shared ardour for the Bible and a typical literary hermeneutic, it joins biblical scrolls and gathers round them a various group of interpreters.

Example text

Is it the body of an Asian woman represented by culturally attached images? Or the body in pain because of penetrating gazes? While the body is represented and constructed, it has its own agency, as it always keeps searching for meaning. This is also true when I read the Bible. My body is involved in the reading: my brain, guts, and nerves react. In the reading process I not only use my knowledge, I also improvise wisdom, which has been embodied in interaction with tradition and community. Hence, what is produced through interpretation is not merely an interpretive work on paper but a dialogical event between the text and my whole person—the body—in relation to community and tradition, as well as new challenges.

Furthermore, such a practice of citational repetition causes a “re-vision” of biblical hermeneutics itself. Biblical hermeneutics, which has been constructed in the Western academy and conceived as “the thing as it is,” is concerned with what meaning one can find in the biblical text. ”3 Hence, biblical hermeneutics can be understood as a meaning-making process or an inquiry of forming and performing knowledge-power in and through the Bible. Hermeneutics of Phronesis 33 Those marginalized or oppressed among both professional and ordinary people have employed such biblical hermeneutics related to a power-laden notion of knowledge.

4:41). In search for the answer to this epistemological question, Western interpreters approach the 42 P o s t c o l o n i a l D i s c i pl e s h i p o f E m b o d i m e n t text with their prejudices and agendas, which prioritize reason and autonomy, and thus their various christological inquiries render Jesus the object of knowledge. This, I argue, is a historically situated interpretation. ” Yet it may not necessarily be a christological question or a question about Jesus’s identity.
