The question of hermeneutics now dominates all disciplines of human
knowledge and its construction. It has moved from a concentration
on how to apply the results of research knowledge to considerations
of the frameworks by which we conduct research as a meaningful
exercise. The study of the Bible is not exempt from these
developments. The essays in this collection amply testify to the
breadth of frameworks that are now being applied to the Bible and
the development of ethical awareness in the construction of
knowledge. The reader will find engagements with the Bible informed
by developments in science, law, ecology, feminism and linguistics.
Key ethical issues about violence, fundamentalism, anti-semitism
and patriarchy are directly addressed as inextricably involved in
the interpretation of the Bible, on the understanding that both
Bible and interpreter must be responsible and accountable in todays
world. Critical analysis of the Bible is no different, even when
there is a pre-disposition or confessional commitment to treat the
bible as sacred scripture. Biblical research is inextricably
affected by those epistemologies and ethical sensitivities that
inform understanding and the search for meaning in our contemporary
world.
