This volume demonstrates Hans W. Frei's unique contribution to
theology and biblical hermeneutics. Divided into five parts, the
volume first outlines key biographical details, including a little
known interview from 1980 (excerpted), and Frei's Jewish background
while growing up in Nazi Germany. The subsequent four parts offer
insights into both the centrality of biblical narrative and its
fateful eclipse by modernity, as well as Frei's usage of Anselm and
Barth. The scholars who contribute to this volume examine Frei's
analytical rigor, his plea for a "high Christology" in the service
of the church; and his shifting interpretations over the years
regarding scripture's "literal sense". They examine Frei's
relationship to other contemporary notables such as Paul Ricoeur,
Eberhard Jungel, George A. Lindbeck and Carl F. H. Henry, along
with an alternative Roman Catholic reading of the history of
biblical hermeneutics over against the one he advocates.
