| Σύνοψη: | Reading with the Grain of Scripture reproduces articles and addresses composed by Richard Hays during the last 25 years. The only pedestrian feature of the book is its origin story, which is that, upon his retirement from Duke Divinity School in 2018, Hays cleaned out his office. From the materials consigned to the recycle bin he spared this collection, judging it to be an apt representation of the interests that defined his career. Structurally, the book consists of four parts: Interpretation, Historical Jesus, Paul, and New Testament Theology. Although Hays is quick to confess that the essays differ markedly both in terms of when, why, and for whom they were written, he identifies six shared commitments that hold the group together: (1) the coherence of Christian Scripture can be perceived by recognizing its narrative character; (2) the unity of the Testaments is ‘retrospectively discerned’ through figurative reading; (3) the death and resurrection of Christ control hermeneutics and biblical theology; (4) the church awaits the fulfilment of God’s promise to bring about new creation; (5) readers must approach Scripture with ‘trusting humility’; and (6) interpretation of Scripture should occur ‘within and for the community of faith’ (p. 3). |
