| Summary: | This paper addresses the particulars of biblical interpretation in Romania, with a special attention to Transylvania, discussing the theological, ecumenical and social implications of exegesis. The interpretation of the Bible has significant ecclesiastical and socio-political implications. Exegesis impacts on the ability to carry out an ecumenical dialogue and influences thereby the relationship between different denominations. Biblical interpretation has its share in the animosities that divide society. Fundamentalism feeds prejudice and hatred, and influences public policies. Therefore exegetes hold a particular responsibility in mediating an appropriate understanding of the Bible. |
