Is There a Meaning in this Text? : The Bible, The Reader and the Morality of Literary Knowledge
Outline : Is There a Meaning in This Text? is a comprehensive and creative analysis of debates over biblical hermeneutics that draws on interdisciplinary resources, all coordinated by Christian theology. It revitalizes and enlarges the concept of author-oriented interpretation and restores confidence that readers of the Bible can reach under-standing. The result is a major challenge to the central assumptions of postmodern biblical scholarship and a constructive alternative proposal-an Augustinian hermeneutic-that reinvigorates the notion of biblical authority and finds a new exegetical practice that recognizes the importance of both the reader\\\'s situation and the literal sense. Kevin Vanhoozer\\\'s Is There a Meaning in This Text? has established itself as the premier treatment of biblical hermeneutics, a significant contribution that will be of interest to readers in a number of fields. This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by Vanhoozer and a foreword by Craig L. Blomberg.
