The unit introduces the theme of biblical
hermeneutics in the context of the history of biblical interpretation since New
Testament times. Key movements, theories
and strategies will be examined and assessed, including recent developments
such as reception history (including the artistic reception of the Bible) and
‘ordinary hermeneutics’. The potential
of these various approaches will be explored in relation to specific biblical
genres and texts. The practical
outworking of the subject in the life of the Church will be kept in view.

Normally Luke, Acts or 1 Corinthians will be
studied. Introductory questions such as
sources, genre, readers and theme(s) are discussed. The emphasis of the unit is on matters of
historical and theological interest and difficulty. Comparison is made with related texts inside
and outside the canon of the NT. The unit
deals with the original purpose(s) of the book and its relevance for
today. Throughout the unit the Greek
text is used and relevant passages are translated and analysed. Class tests may be used in preparation for
the exam.
