Description
Old Testament Cosmology and Divine Accommodation A Relevance Theory Approach by John W. Hilber explores how ancient authors accommodated language to convey divine truth in a way that is understandable to finite human minds. The author argues that relevance theory provides valuable insights into the linguistic level of accommodation, helping to disentangle the complexities of dual authorship in Scripture. By applying relevance theory, scholars can better understand the primary communication situation and identify the most probable interpretative options within it. This book makes a significant contribution to theological reading of Scripture, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between divine and human authors.
