This is a clearly written and extremely helpful introduction to
many different approaches to the interpretation of the New
Testament. Experts from around the world and across many
disciplines contribute specialised explanations, while Paula
Gooder's excellent discussions apply each form of criticism to
actual New Testament textual examples. It will become an
indispensable tool and is greatly to be welcomed' Richard A.
Burridge Dean of King's College London and Professor of Biblical
Interpretation This book introduces readers to the different
methods used when interpreting the New Testament. Although there
are other books on the market that introduce the various techniques
they are often very theoretical and it is hard for readers to see
what difference the methods of interpretation make in practice to
how a passage might be understood. Here, Paula Gooder responds to
this gap in the market by giving practical textual examples of how
a text might be interpreted using a broad range of interpretational
methods. She also explores techniques that are often omitted from
books on biblical interpretation, such as textual criticism and
post-colonial criticism. The emphasis throughout is on what
difference the method of interpretation makes for understanding the
text. The text is mainly written by Paula Gooder but includes short
contributions from world class scholars who offer nuggets of wisdom
on their particular area of expertise.
