Description
Theological interpretation of the Bible is a significant debate within theology today. This book proposes that theological reading requires an understanding of the reader via a theological anthropology; an examination of the text as a collection of signs; and reading with a view toward engaging with what it says about transcendence. Darren Sarisky explores how Augustine's approach to the Bible informs his interpretation, highlighting the importance of fitting reading strategies. He also engages with Spinoza, arguing that theological exegesis is not in opposition to approaches that take history seriously, but rather those that rely on naturalistic methods of reading. By examining these perspectives, Sarisky seeks to redress the neglect of the reader's role in accounts of theological reading, offering a nuanced understanding of how interpretation can be guided by theological insights.
