Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation: Six Volumes in One

Publisher's Description

Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation seeks to identify and clarify the basic problems of interpretation that affect our reading of the Bible today. This unique volume provides a comprehensive and systematic coverage of the field of general hermeneutics.

Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation examines the impact of specific academic disciplines on the interpretation of the Bible.

• God, Language, and Scripture -- Mois√©s Silva
