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.
