The three authors bring the resources of the Bible, Christian tradition, and intellectual history to bear upon contemporary hermeneutical disputes. Representing a complete revision of The Responsibility of Hermeneutics (1985), this substantially expanded volume has been brought up to date with recent work in hermeneutics and sets forth an important new perspective that shifts the interpretive focus from the past to the promise of the future. Making use of the best insights from current theories about language, interpretation, and the nature of the self, The Promise of Hermeneutics demonstrates how an encounter with contemporary interpretive theory can deepen the church's own hermeneutical practices. The authors also show how the Christian faith can help move us beyond the many impasses created by postmodern thought.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Roger Lundin</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Hermeneutics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Hermeneutics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">121.686</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R722-L96</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0853649006</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070408.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
