From the Publisher:
This monograph on hermeneutics is part of Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation (which has been reissued in one volume). A brilliant young evangelical scholar, Kevin Vanhoozer begins by giving the philosophical background to the history of the hermeneutical task. He then discusses modern approaches to hermeneutics, particularly those that insist that no meaning can be ascribed to a text. He goes on to build a strong case for a hermeneutic that insists that literary texts--particularly the Bible--do in fact convey a meaning that can be derived from he text. This book can rightly be called a theology of interpretation.
From the Author:
Kevin Vanhoozer (Ph.D., Cambridge University) is senior lecturer in theology and religious studies at New College, University of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is author of Biblical Narrative in the Philosophy of Paul Ricoeur: An Essay in Hermeneutics and Theology
