For centuries scholars have been developing ways of studying the
bible, through exegesis, historical critique, literary critique,
form criticism, and narrative analysis. During the last half
century new theoretical approaches have come to the fore.
Psychological Hermeneutics takes as its starting point the text
itself, and its context - the dynamics of the human document
created, the person(s) who authored the text, the original audience
for which it was intended, the subsequent audiences to which it
spoke, and the factors that were at play behind, in, and in front
of the text. The contributions to this volume examine the growth of
Psychological Hermeneutics as a discipline within biblical studies.
The book is structured in two parts. The first assesses the
approach taken by Wayne G. Rollins, one of the pioneers of this
field. The second provides applications of Rollins' approach. The
result is a book which presents a state-of-the-art survey of the
discipline and development of Psychological Hermeneutics over the
last thirty years.
