Description:
This original essay proposes that Christians must read scripture theologically, redressing the recent domination of professional scholarship in this area by historical criticism. Drawing on the best interpretative traditions of the past, it develops a new approach to the theological interpretation of scripture. This interpretative framework will enable Christians, and particularly Christian theologians, to interpret scripture in a way that helps them to live and worship faithfully.
