This volume directs attention to the teaching of Jesus; it
introduces the question of how the imagination has to work in order
to retrieve the teaching of Jesus and apply it to actual life in
our day. Teachers and preachers are engaged in this work all the
time, but upon examination it involves a process that bears
reflection. We live in a world that is so different from the world
in which Jesus taught that many ask about its practicability
relative to our complex everyday lives. The volume turns to three
authors who work at this, have thought through present-day theory
of interpretation, and respond to basic questions that explain the
adjustments that allow us to apply Jesus’s teaching to our
dilemmas with interpretation that remain faithful to the content
that He proposed. Sandra Schneiders turns to modern
hermeneutics—the theory of interpretation—and explains what is
going on in the human mind that allows us to say that present-day
interpretation, while different from that of Jesus because our
“worlds” are different, corresponds to what Jesus communicated
in the past relative to His world. William Spohn pushes the same
idea further to concrete examples of how analogy, sameness, and
difference together bind the imagination to Jesus and frees us to
see new relevance for Jesus’s actual teaching. And Lisa Sowle
Cahill takes the spirit of the other two into the social order to
show how Jesus’s teaching has a real relevance for the highly
complex societies in which we live today. The logics of these three
authors offer models for what is going on in all of the “Past
Light on Present Life” volumes as they represent different
historical periods and distinct themes in Western Christian
spirituality.
