Many of the most pressing issues in theology and the church today
depend greatly on the understanding of the Bible. Recent debates on
the theological interpretation of scripture have emerged which
consider whether the meaning of scripture should concern
theologians and church leaders at all. "The Bible and the Crisis of
Meaning" is an account of these debates in examining the concept of
meaning in current proposals of theological interpretation. The
concept of meaning is educed either from the supposed nature of the
texts and their authors or from the function of the texts in
religious communities. Thus, approaches to theological
interpretation become debates between ontological and pragmatic
strategists. Stephen Fowl and Kevin Vanhoozer have embraced the
term "theological interpretation" for their separate projects, but
their ideas of what this means and how "meaning" is a part of it,
differ greatly. Christopher Spinks describes their respective
concepts of meaning and argues for a more holistic concept that
allows theological interpreters to understand their craft not so
much as a discovery of intentions or the creation of interests but
as a conversation in which truth is mediated.
