Reading the Bible with Giants - How 2000 Years of Biblical Interpretation Can Shed Light on Old Texts: Second Edition (Paperback, 2 Rev Ed)

Many readers of the Bible believe that interpreting the Scriptures well simply involves a two-way dialogue between themselves and the text. Implied in this view is the idea that we can simply jump over two thousand years of biblical interpretation. However, if we believe that God has been speaking through the Bible to devout believers throughout history it would seem that we should find a way to identify the insights they perceived in the text so that we can learn to read these sacred texts with them. Drawing on resources from Reception Theory, the goal of 'Reading the Bible with the Giants' is to enable the contemporary reader to interpret the Bible in dialogue with those who have gone before us.
