The volume present Stanley E. Porter's considered thoughts and
reflections on key questions of meaning and context, addresseing
the problems of biblical interpretation and how a close
collaboration between hermeneutics and linguistics can help to
solve them. The chapters display Porter's work in both fields,
examining how hermeneutics functions as a field in modern biblical
studies, and how the quest for meaning in biblical texts is
underpinned by the study of linguistics. The volume focuses on
context for understanding the meanings of biblical texts. Porter
suggests that linguists can learn more from the philosophical
questions around meaning that hermeneuts apply in their study of
biblical texts, and that there is more fruitful work to be done in
the field of hermeneutics using insights from linguistics.
