The Theological Interpretation of Scripture: Classic and Contemporary Readings (Blackwell Readings in Modern Theology)

Rating:
Summary: Both avant-garde and orthodox
Review: Fowl's work includes contributors who engage in diverse forms of biblical interpretation, yet who hold in common the ability to move beyond the "critical" exegesis which has so dominated biblical interpretation these last centuries. This compilation, representing both pre and postmodernity, speaks to a movement that is both traditional and progressive, orthodox and avant-garde. As such this work is "prophetic" in the double sense of the term: heralding the coming of something new, and calling us back to what has gone before.
