In order to refocus their work so that it can open out into a
three-way conversation between themselves, the scriptural text, and
the communities interested in the text, Countryman argues that
biblical scholars must abandon the over-dependence on analytical
method that they favor. Scholars need to find new ways to bring the
complexities of the text and its environment more directly into
conversation with the complexities of human communities here and
now. Countryman strikes out in new directions by stressing that the
conversation with Scripture always calls the interpreter and the
community of faith to address realities beyond the text. This book
offers a challenge both to biblical scholars and to churches,
calling them to work together in reforming and renewing their ways
of dealing with Scripture. L. William Countryman is Sherman E.
Johnson Professor in Biblical Studies at the Church Divinity School
of the Pacific.
