Evangelicals And Scripture
$33.99By definition, a high view of Scripture inheres in evangelicalism. However, there does not seem to be a uniform way to articulate an evangelical doctrine of Scripture.
Taking up the challenge, Vincent E. Bacote, Laura C. Miguilez and Dennis L. Okholm present twelve essays that explore in depth the meaning of an evangelical doctrine of Scripture that takes seriously both the human and divine dimensions of the Bible. The essays, selected from the presentations made at the 2002 Wheaton Theology Conference, approach this vital subject from three directions. Stan Grenz, Bruce McCormack and Donald Dayton consider the history of evangelical thinking on the nature of Scripture. John Brogan, Kent Sparks, J. Daniel Hays and Richard Schultz address the nature of biblical authority. Finally, Bruce Benson, John Franke, Daniel Treier and David Alan Williams explore the challenge of hermeneutics, especially as it relates to interpreting Scripture in a postmodern context.
Together these essays provide a window into current evangelical scholarship on the doctrine of Scripture and also advance the dialogue about how best to construe our faith in the Word of God, living and written, that informs not only the belief but also the practice of the church.

Appealing To Scripture In Moral Debate A Print On Demand Title
$27.99240 Pages
Additional Info
Arguing from scripture is one of the ways that Christians test their moral judgments. But are all methods of appealing to the Bible equally valid and effective? In this book Charles Cosgrove looks at the church’s long tradition of moral debate and analyzes five important hermeneutical rules that guide contemporary use of scripture in ethical argument. After introducing the nature of moral arguments generally, Cosgrove devotes one chapter to each of the five rules of biblical interpretation that make ethical appeals to scripture persuasive. He sets forth each rule’s rationale, provides examples of its operation, and subjects it to critique. Based not only on the work of biblical scholars and Christian ethicists but also on Cosgrove’s own experience with debates in classrooms, churches, and other Christian contexts, this volume is a valuable aid to readers who employ moral reasoning in real-life settings.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Bible In A World Context A Print On Demand Title
$15.99In the West, the Bible is largely read and studied abstractly, without context. This is unfortunate since the meaning and value of Scripture are rooted, first, in the contextual situations of its readers. The West has much to learn from voices in places like Latin America, Africa, and Asia, where people are reading and studying the Bible in direct relation to the often trying circumstances of their daily lives.
The Bible in a World Context is an engaging work that offers a fresh look at the subjects of Bible reading and hermeneutics from a global perspective. Three rising scholars representing three distinct geographical regions each contribute to the volume a programmatic essay on hermeneutics and a shorter Bible study on Luke 2:1-20, the account of Jesus’ birth. In showing the role that context plays in interpretation, these chapters demonstrate a contextual hermeneutics that brings familiar biblical texts to life in new and important ways.

Renewing Biblical Interpretation
$36.99Renewing Biblical Interpretation is the first in a series of eight books that are the result of a (by invitation only) annual conferences of the top evangelical hermeneutical scholars in the world. In every book, they raise and discuss a critical issue that has a vital impact on the future of biblical interpretation. These conferences could shape the future of evangelical scholarship for the new millennium.
When it comes to the Bible, there is a lot at stake for the church and the world. The God who addresses us through scripture is central to Christianity. Without such an open book, the heart of Christianity is removed. In Amos, chapter eight, the prophet speaks of a terrible time of famine, not of bread and water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. It can be argued that we are approaching such a famine in the West. The Bible has not been ignored in the modern world but its story has been a checkered one, to say the least. The Bible continues to be a best seller in the West, but increasingly, it is a closed book. For the past 150 years, the Bible has been scrutinized “scientifically” in the academy but in a way that has tended to confine it to the past. This way of reading texts is now being challenged in the context of the post-modern turn, so that all sorts of different ways of reading the Bible are now being proposed. However, the danger of these new developments is that we simply hear echoes of our own voices when we read the Bible. But not everything about the present “post-modern hour” is bad. The present flux in the academy and biblical studies provides a great opportunity to re-assess the discipline of biblical studies from the foundation up and to forge creative new ways for re-opening the book for our culture. This is the opportunity that Renewing Biblical Interpretation has seized.

Linguistics And Biblical Interpretation
$44.99Contemporary linguistics is increasingly enlightening for biblical studies, but till now there’s been no intelligible introduction for non-linguists. This new book shows how three linguistic principles (the concept of meaning, the significance of author, text, and reader in the search for meaning, and the use of discourse analysis in determining meaning) can illumine Scripture. Each principle is illustrated with examples from the Bible and from ordinary speech. Even laypeople will be fascinated!

Theology Hermeneutics And Imagination
$169.33This book explores the contemporary crisis of biblical interpretation by examining modern and postmodern forms of the ‘hermeneutics of suspicion’. Garrett Green looks at several thinkers who played key roles in creating a radically suspicious reading of the Bible. After Kant, Hamann and Feuerbach comes Nietzsche, who marked the turn from modern to postmodern suspicion. Green argues that similarities between Derrida’s deconstruction and Barth’s theology of signs show that postmodern suspicion ought not to be viewed simply as a threat to theology but as a secular counterpart to its own hermeneutical insights. When theology attends to its proper task of describing the grammar of scriptural imagination, it discovers a source of suspicion more radical than the secular, the hermeneutical expression of God’s gracious judgement. Green concludes that Christians are committed to the hermeneutical imperative, the never-ending struggle for the meaning of scripture in the hopeful insecurity of the faithful imagination.
