Description

‘There are few topics more central to the task of biblical interpretation than history, and not many become so multifaceted as soon as they are examined in depth. Equally, few books open up the topic in such an illuminating and thoughtprovoking manner as this splendid collection of essays and responses.’
(Hugh Williamson, Regius Professor of Hebrew, University of Oxford)

‘This volume of excellent essays brings together eminent scholars from several disciplines, representing various theological positions, to focus on the subject of history and biblical interpretation. The book breaks new ground in its interdisciplinary examination of the methodology, the presuppositions, the practices, and the purposes of biblical hermeneutics, with a special emphasis on the relation of faith and history. It is requisite reading for anyone interested in the subject, from historical biblical critics and philosophical theologians to educated laity concerned to understand trends in the field.’
(Eleonore Stump, Robert J. Henle Professor of Philosophy, Saint Louis University)
