Anthony C. Thiselton and the Grammar of Hermeneutics: The Search for a Unified Theory

Description

‘A provisional and preliminary attempt to show how the formative hermeneutical thinking of Anthony C. Thiselton – once systematized and critiqued – can begin to resolve the major problems found in the discipline of hermeneutics today, most notably its varying disunities – theoretical, practical, and inter-disciplinary. This book aims to show that the formative thinking of Anthony C. Thiselton provides valuable insights for a programmatic construction towards a unified hermeneutical theory. This construction provides powerful keys for unlocking six contemporary problems in hermeneutics: disorganization, complexity, abstraction, theoretical disunity on several levels, inter-disciplinary polarization, and irresponsible interpretation. Robert Knowles exhaustive analysis engages critically and creatively.’
