Sumario: | Many readers of the Bible believe that interpreting the Scriptures well simply involves a two-way dialogue between themselves and the text. Implied in this view is the idea that we can simply jump over two thousand years of biblical interpretation.

Drawing on resources from 'Reception Theory', the goal of this book is to enable the contemporary reader to interpret the Bible in dialogue with those who have gone before us. |
