Reading Responsibly: A Guide to Biblical Interpretation focuses on
two key areas: methods and ethics of interpretation. The book
introduces, explains, and guides students in the understanding and
application of particular methods commonly used by biblical
scholars in the study of the Bible. The methods discussed focus on
historical, literary, and reader-oriented aspects of biblical
interpretation. The attention to ethics occurs mainly in the last
chapter. Because the Bible is an extremely influential book, it
often motivates people to act in beneficial or harmful ways. The
focus on love for others motivates charitable giving or actions
designed to help others. Emphasis on God's wrath may lead to
exclusivism and even violence. Readings leading to disrespect and
mental or physical abuse, stem from an irresponsible use of the
Bible. Responsible readings give full consideration to the text in
its proper context and never call for action that is inconsistent
with love and justice.
