Despite many churches claiming that the Bible is highly significant
for their doctrine and practice, questions about how we read the
Bible are rarely made explicit. Based on ethnographic research in
English churches, Congregational Hermeneutics explores this
dissonance and moves beyond descriptions to propose ways of
enriching hermeneutical practices in congregations. Characterised
as hermeneutical apprenticeship, this is not just a matter of
learning certain skills, but of cultivating hermeneutical virtues
such as faithfulness, community, humility, confidence and courage.
These virtues are given substance through looking at four broad
themes that emerge from the analysis of congregational hermeneutics
- tradition, practices, epistemology and mediation. Concluding with
what hermeneutical apprenticeship might look like in practice, this
book is constructively theological about what churches actually do
with the Bible, and will be of interest to scholars, students and
practitioners.
