Theological interpretation of the Bible is one of the most
significant debates within theology today. Yet what exactly is
theological reading? Darren Sarisky proposes that it requires
identification of the reader via a theological anthropology; an
understanding of the text as a collection of signs; and reading the
text with a view toward engaging with what it says of
transcendence. Accounts of theological reading do not often give
explicit focus to the place of the reader, but this work seeks to
redress this neglect. Sarisky examines Augustine's approach to the
Bible and how his theological insights into the reader and the text
generate an aim for interpretation, which is fulfilled by fitting
reading strategies. He also engages with Spinoza, showing that
theological exegesis contrasts not with approaches that take
history seriously, but with naturalistic approaches to reading.
