| Summary: | This book proposes an original typology for grasping the differences between diverse types of biblical interpretation, fashioned in a triangle around a major theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation between divine and human action. Despite their purported concern for reading God's word, most modern and postmodern approaches to biblical interpretation do not seriously consider the role of divine agency as having a real influence in and on the process of reading Scripture. Mark Bowald seeks to correct and clarify this deficiency by demonstrating the inevitable role that divine agency plays in contemporary proposals in relation to human agency enacted in the composition of the biblical text and the reader. This book presents an important contribution to the emerging field of theological hermeneutics. Bowald discusses in depth the hermeneutics of George Lindbeck, Hans Frei, Kevin Vanhoozer, Francis Watson, Stephen Fowl, David Kelsey, Werner Jeanrond, Karl Barth, James K.A. Smith, and Nicholas Wolterstorff Cover -- Dedication -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- List of Figures -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- 1 The Eclipsing and Usurping of Divine Agency in Enlightenment Epistemology and their Influence on Scriptural Hermeneutics -- Kantâs Proscriptions to Reasonâs Activity: Defining the Ideal Knowing Act -- Further Defining Kantâs Critique of Antecedent Judgments with Special Attention to the Relationship of Human and Divine Agency -- Clearing the Modern Ground: The Eclipse of Godâs Agency -- The Hermeneutic Reversal: The Usurping of Godâs Agency -- Summary -- 2 A Triangle Typology: Mapping Divine and Human Agency in Contemporary Theological Hermeneutics -- The Triangle: Coordinating Divine and Human Action -- Type One: Human Agency in/through the text of Scripture -- Type Two: Human Agency in the reading and reception of Scripture -- Type Three: Divine Agency in the Hermeneutics of Scripture -- A Clarifying Conversation With Four Other Typologies -- Summary: Looking Back and Looking Ahead -- 3 Type One: Human Agency in the âTextâ -- The Evangelical Tradition -- The Early Hans Frei: The Eclipse of Modern Biblicism -- Kevin Vanhoozer: From General Hermeneutics to General Christian Hermeneutics to Divine Canonical-Linguistics -- Francis Watson: Negotiating Text, Church, and World -- The Implications of Type 1: Benefits and Detriments -- 4 Type Two: Human Agency in the âReadingâ -- David Kelsey: Using Scripture -- The Later Hans Frei: The Emergence of Meaning in the Tradition -- Werner Jeanrond: Reviving the Critical Interpreter -- Stephen Fowl: The Communityâs Underdetermined Engagement with Scripture -- The Implications of Type Two: Benefits and Detriments -- 5 Type Three: Prioritizing Divine Agency: Godâs Agency In, With, and Under Scripture and its Reading -- Karl Barth: Godâs Word as Godâs Act Nicholas Wolterstorff: Reading for Divine Discourse -- James K.
