In Houses of the Interpreter, David Lyle Jeffrey explores the
terrain of the cultural history of biblical interpretation. But
Jeffrey does not merely rest content to chart biblical scholarship
and how it has both influenced and been influenced by culture.
Instead, he chooses to focus upon the "art" of Biblical
interpretation--how sculptors, musicians, poets, novelists, and
painters have "read" the Bible. By so doing, Jeffrey clearly
demonstrates that such cultural interpretation has deepened the
church's understanding of the Bible as Scripture and that,
remarkably, this cultural reading has contributed to theology and
the practice of faith. Jeffrey's chapters effectively root the
theological issues central to any hermeneutical enterprise (e.g.,
Scriptural authority, narrative, the Old Testament as Christian
Scripture, the role of the reader, gender, and postmodernism) in
specific authors and artists (e.g., Chaucer, Bosch, Sir Orfeo, C.
S. Lewis)--and he does this in constant conversation with
literature, both eastern and western.
