Practicing Theological Interpretation: Engaging Biblical Texts

Practicing Theological Interpretation: Engaging Biblical Texts for Faith and Formation (Theological Explorations for the Church Catholic)

Much is written about the theory of theological interpretation, but how does it apply to actually working with biblical texts? This volume shows that theological interpretation is not so much an exegetical method as it is a practice concerned with Scripture's role in the faith and formation of persons and church communities. Widely recognized biblical scholar Joel Green demonstrates both the practice of theological interpretation and the fruitfulness of this approach to reading biblical texts, providing students with helpful ways of wrestling with knotty interpretive issues. He also explores how theological inquiry can co-exist with rigorous academic study of the Bible.
