Implied in this view is the idea that we can simply jump over two thousand years of biblical interpretation. However, if we believe that God has been speaking through the Bible to devout believers throughout history it would seem that we should find a way to identify the insights they perceived in the text so that we can learn to read these sacred texts with them. Drawing on resources from Reception Theory, the goal of Reading the Bible with the Giants is to enable the contemporary reader to interpret the Bible in dialogue with those who have gone before us.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">David Paul Parris</note> <subject> <topic>History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Hermeneutics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism and Interpretation</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">220.6</classification> <classification authority="ddc">P261-D25</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781842272732</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14991/184227273x01-sx180-sclzzzzzzz.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14991/184227273x01-sx180-sclzzzzzzz.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071428.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
