The past fifty years has seen the emergence of an energetic
dialogue between religion and the natural sciences that has
contributed to a growing desire for interdisciplinarity among many
constructive theologians. However, some have also resisted this
trend, in part because it seems that the price one must pay for
such engagement is much too high. Interdisciplinary work appears
overly abstract and methodologically restrictive, with little room
for systematic theologians self-consciously operating within a
particular historical tradition. In Interdisciplinary
Interpretation: Paul Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Theology and
Science, Kenneth A. Reynhout seeks to address this concern by
constructing an alternative understanding of interdisciplinary
theology based on the hermeneutical thought of Paul Ricoeur,
generally recognized as one of the most interdisciplinary
philosophers of the twentieth century. Appealing to Ricoeur's view
of interpretation as the dialectical process of understanding
through explanation, Reynhout argues that theology's engagement
with the natural sciences is fundamentally hermeneutical in
character. As such, interdisciplinary theologians can faithfully
borrow meaning from the sciences through a process of
"interdisciplinary interpretation," a process that can honestly
attend to the legitimate challenges posed by the natural sciences
without automatically requiring the evacuation of theological norms
and convictions. Reynhout's creative appropriation of Ricoeur's
hermeneutics succeeds in providing a novel interdisciplinary
vision, not only for theology but also for interdisciplinary work
in general.
