| Summary: | This paper examines the issue of authority of the Bible not as an interpretive issue but as a hermeneutical issue. Many of the difficulties concerning this important topic have been made more complex and perhaps even insoluble because the issue of hermeneutics has not entered into the discussion as it should. I first address the major problems with the traditional realistic view of the authority of the Bible, I then discuss the issue of hermeneutics and interpretation more fully, and, finally, I discuss some recent developments in biblical studies in light of the distinctions that I am making, to see if they are adequate interpretive models consistent with the hermeneutical view of scriptural authority that I am advocating. |
