How do we hear the Spirit's voice in Scripture? Once we have done
responsible exegesis, how may we expect the Spirit to apply the
text to our lives and communities? In Spirit Hermeneutics biblical
scholar Craig Keener addresses these questions, carefully
articulating how the experience of the Spirit that empowered the
church on the day of Pentecost can-and should-dynamically shape our
reading of Scripture today. Keener considers what Spirit-guided
interpretation means, explores implications of an epistemology of
Word and Spirit for biblical hermeneutics, and shows how Scripture
itself models an experiential appropriation of its message.
Bridging the Word-Spirit gap between academic and experiential
Christian approaches, Keener's Spirit Hermeneutics narrates a way
of reading the Bible that is faithful both to the Spirit-inspired
biblical text and to the experience of the Spirit among believers.
