'Communication and Exegesis' helps to demystify communication
theory in such a way as to encourage biblical scholars and students
to open their minds to new ideas about how humans attempt to
communicate with one another. It shows how much exegesis in
intuitive and gives a theoretical account and support for the
processes which we engage in as we attempt to analyse a text.
Contextual presuppositions and biases are also considered and
factored into the interpretive process. By using Relevance Theory
consistently, rather than employing the eclectic method favoured by
some scholars who have dabbled in one linguistic theory or another,
the book provides a sound theoretical basis on which to build
interpretation of text without demanding a new range of
competencies from the reader. 'Communication and Exegesis' does not
claim to solve all problems but rather to encourage readers to
develop a keener awareness of what communication means. Cognitive
approaches are now in the forefront of both anthropological and
linguistic studies, and have the potential to be extremely
beneficial to biblical studies by opening up new areas for research
and reinvestigating some issues perceived as problems in the past.
