Biblical Interpretation: An Integrated Approach, Revised Edition

an integrated approach

Plot

"In Biblical Interpretation, W. Randolph Tate invites the reader to explore the three methods of interpretation which currently predominate: author-centered, which looks at the world of the author for meaning; text-centered, which journeys to the world of the text in search of significance; and reader-centered, which focuses on the reader's role in shaping the meaning of a text. Each of these approaches has validity, but none has a monopoly on finding the correct meaning of a text." "Concerned that readers have a practical grasp of the interpretative process, he offers description, prescription, example, and application. The volume is especially tailored to allow the nonspecialist an entree into the world of biblical interpretation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
