Description

The Dictionary of Biblical Criticism and Interpretation is a comprehensive reference work that brings together key areas of research in biblical interpretation. Expertly combining study of biblical interpretation with examination of theological and philosophical preconceptions, this volume surveys the history of interpretation from different perspectives. Porter examines various schools of thought that have generated biblical interpretation, including the historical dimension, conceptual approach, and personal perspective. The book also addresses how interpretation has developed over time, from early Jewish exegesis to the historical-critical method. With relevant bibliographies and a guide to further reading, this Dictionary will be an important resource for scholars, students, clergy, and teachers of biblical studies. This reference work is likely to be held in high esteem by libraries and individuals seeking a thorough understanding of biblical interpretation.
