Publisher Description: Anthony Thiselton's masterful work in the field of hermeneutics has impacted a host of students and scholars over the past few decades. Especially influential was his 1980 book The Two Horizons, a call to take seriously the contexts of both the reader and the text. Thiselton's work has continued to carry much weight, yet there has been no single place to go to access a helpful array of his writings - until now.
Thiselton on Hermeneutics provides expositions and critical discussions of hermeneutics as a multidisciplinary area. Biblical interpretation, philosophical hermeneutics, literary theory, and Christian theology genuinely interact in these forty-two studies to form a coherent whole. Thiselton's unique interactive and multidisciplinary approach shines through the volume. Ten of these essays, almost a quarter of the collection, have not been published before or are very recent.
Theologians, biblical scholars, philosophers, and any other academics will appreciate the creative perspectives and insights of this pioneering scholar distilled here.

"Anthony Thiselton presents the harvest of a lifetime of labor in biblical, systematic, and philosophical theology. Written with characteristic erudition, courtesy, and Christian wisdom, the writings assembled here are the work of a theological master. Few can approach his command of such a range of disciplines or his commitment to disciplined thought in the light of Christian truth."
John Webster, University of Aberdeen
"One of our most distinguished and trusted voices in the arena of biblical studies and hermeneutics, Tony Thiselton here draws together work spanning a long, fruitful, and impressive career. Because these contributions have appeared in such diverse and far-flung places, this collected work is especially welcome."
Joel B. Green, Asbury Theological Seminary
"Thiselton is one of the very best in the field of biblical interpretation, hermeneutical theory, and related theological and philosophical issues. This volume is both an introduction to his work and a comprehensive survey of it, with the added bonus of his own up-to-date retrospective reflections."
David F. Ford, University of Cambridge
"Anthony Thiselton's writings bridge three disciplines usually kept apart by artificial barriers - biblical studies, philosophical theology, and systematic theology. There are few scholars anywhere in the world who can do this with comparable skill, insight, and clarity of thought. These masterly essays are accessible to a wide range of readers."
Graham M. Stanton, University of Cambridge
"Thiselton's contribution to the intersection of hermeneutical theory and the practice of biblical interpretation is unmatched in recent time. This collection of his writings will prove to be an invaluable tool for those with an interest in either or both of the two foci of his work."
Merold Westphal, Fordham University
