Rendering the Word in Theological Hermeneutics

This e-book proposes an unique typology for greedy the diversities among varied kinds of biblical interpretation, shaped in a triangle round an enormous theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation among divine and human motion. regardless of their purported crisis for interpreting God's note, latest and postmodern methods to biblical interpretation don't heavily think of the function of divine service provider as having a true impression in and at the strategy of interpreting Scripture.

Scrolls of Love: Ruth and the Song of Songs

Scrolls of affection is a publication of unions. Edited by means of a Jew and a Christian who're united by means 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 some of the methodological and theological views.

Example text

10. The God-Lover as Collective in Christian Interpretation of the Song I have already argued that the Song of Songs, in and of itself, does not appear to have originally been a song of love between Yhwh and Yhwh’s people. The Song lacks explicit indicators of such a divine–human dimension that are seen in texts such as the Gita Govinda, nor do we see divine direct-addresses such as are found in Mesopotamian divine love poetry. Instead, it appears that much material in the Song relates instead to very human dramas of love of the sort seen in Egyptian love poetry.

Whereas “women” were identified more with their bodies, “men” in part were defined by the way they were less subject to their bodies and were more dominated by their minds. According to standard anatomical texts, men and women’s bodies were more similar than they were different.

14 Such imagery does emerge in Judaism, particularly in later traditions. Nevertheless, it is not prominent in Jewish texts up through the first few centuries of the Common Era. To be sure, we do see such imagery in the Hebrew Bible. , Hos 2:2–20 [Eng. 2:4–22]; Jer 3:1–10, 18–22; Ezek 16; 23; see also Isa 5:1–7; 54:4–8; 62:4–5). 15 In the past, many have presupposed that such biblical texts were the beginning of a continuous Jewish tradition of imagining God and Israel in a marriage relationship.
