Renewing Biblical Interpretation is the first in a series of eight books that will result from annual conferences -- by invitation only -- of the top evangelical hermeneutical scholars in the world. Their goal in each conference will be to raise and discuss a critical issue that has vital impact on the future of biblical interpretation. These conferences are expected to shape evangelical scholarship in the new millennium.

The first book, Renewing Biblical Interpretation, is a multidisciplinary analysis of the crises in biblical interpretation, covering topics such as:
-- The social effects of biblical interpretation
-- Scripture becomes religion: the theological crises of serious biblical interpretation in the twentieth century
-- Critical realism and the interpretation of the New Testament
-- The failure of imagination in biblical studies

With stellar scholars such as Neil Beaton McDonald and Stephen Wright chiming in, this important and exciting series will forge new paths in renewing biblical interpretation, opening the book afresh for the new millennium.
