Reviews To review this book, please Login or Register. In this monograph, the author proposes and works out a theory of Christian hermeneutics grounded in the conviction that the Bible, foundation and primary resource for Christian faith and theology, can and must be interpreted to engage the truth about God and human life, as focused in Jesus, to which it witnesses. In chapter 1, Moberly situates his study within an account of biblical interpretation as it touches specifically on the question of God, unfolding the issue in three stages.

The first relates to the character and cultural context of the interpreter and underscores the necessity of personal engagement with the text. The second is that attention to the role of symbolism and metaphor in religious language is necessary to negotiate what the biblical text has to say about God.

The third presupposition, that the text is mystery, is conceived as an invitation to probe further into its meaning through a variety of disciplines. Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy. Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel. Moberly's a most welcome addition to the small but growing library of books committed to the renewal of biblical interpretation as the foundational discipline of Christian doctrine Moberly's aim is to 'read the Bible for all it is worth', by connecting the minutiae of biblical scholarship with the big questions of God and human life.

Classic Christian understandings of what is necessary to speak validly about God are used to set a context for modern linguistic and historical interpretation so as to produce a post-modern understanding of biblical interpreta tion.
