Description

Biblical Interpretation: Past & Present explores the history of how Christians have understood and interpreted the Bible. Gerald Bray examines the key concepts that have shaped biblical interpretation over time, including divine revelation, the nature of the canon, and the relationship between the text and Christian churches. The book is divided into three main sections, each focusing on a different period or approach to biblical interpretation. The first section covers the early church to the Renaissance and Reformation, while the second section looks at the rise of modern historical-critical interpretation from the 17th century onwards. The third section investigates current trends in biblical interpretation that offer alternative perspectives. By tracing the development of biblical interpretation over time, Bray provides a comprehensive understanding of how Christians have understood and applied the Bible in different contexts.
