Scriptural Interpretation (eBook, ePUB)

A Theological Exploration

Beschreibung

In Scriptural Interpretation, Sarisky brilliantly draws together Patristic Theology and a theological interpretation of Scripture in the modern day, to examine Scripture's central place in the life of the Church and ordinary believers. * Examines the importance of scriptural interpretation in the life of Christians and of the church * Draws together two lively discussions: a study of the theology of the Cappadocian fathers, and a discussion of theological interpretation of Scripture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries * Covers an impressive historical range, from Basil of Caesarea right up to the work of the major contemporary thinkers, Stanley Hauerwas and Rowan Williams * Offers a sophisticated understanding of many Patristic thinkers - an area of huge current interest in the field - and challenges accepted readings of the theology of Basil of Caesarea

Rezensionen

"Building on its astute analysis of elements of patristic and modern biblical hermeneutics, Scriptural Interpretation makes a persuasive theological proposal about how to be readers of the biblical text in the company of the church. Elegant, measured, rich in its details and penetrating in its judgements, this is one of the most distinguished accounts of the matter in recent years."--John Webster, King's College

"Dr Sarisky is deeply immersed in the Bible, early Church writings and the Christian theology of recent decades, and he brings them to bear in a masterful way on the key theme of interpreting scripture. He puts a bold, well-supported case for the crucial importance of a thoroughly theological account of scripture, its readers, their corporate context and the practice of reading itself. His perceptive analyses and responses to Basil of Caesarea, Stanley Hauerwas and Rowan Williams culminate in a constructive contribution to what he rightly sees as one of the most important current debates in Christian theology. He does something that might seem obvious but is actually both unusual and difficult: he lets God be utterly central and pervasive to both the Bible and its reception." David F. Ford, University of Cambridge
