History of Biblical Interpretation: A Reader
What questions do interpreters ask of Scripture and how have those questions changed over time? History of Biblical Interpretation starts at 150 B.C.E. and moves to the present in exploring the major developments and principal approaches to interpreting the Bible. Thirtyfour chapters survey the most significant methods and provide introductions to the prominent people who exemplify them. Each chapter also presents an original document that demonstrates this person's interpretational approach and includes a reference bibliography for further reading. Whether used as a textbook or in individual study, this excellent introduction to the history of biblical interpretation will open new doors for students of the Bible, theology, and church history.
