This volume grapples with what the author calls "the challenge that
historical and cultural relativism poses to the hermeneutical
process when applied to the authoritative Scripture." The author
addresses this 'challenge' by analyzing both the roots and the
current state of biblical hermeneutics and by developing a biblical
theology of hermeneutics and culture. Larkin begins his historical
analysis by uncovering the origin of the major thought forms and
patterns that have shaped contemporary hermeneutical discussion. He
then focuses on evangelical and nonevangelical contributions to the
debate. Culling the writings of biblical scholars and
missiologists, he outlines how they have addressed such issues as
the nature and authority of Scripture, the interpreter's
preunderstanding, and contextualization. Among other vitally
important subjects, Larkin also discusses the role of the Holy
Spirit and man in the interpretive process. He concludes with
guidelines for interpreting and applying Scripture, concentrating
on the cultural factorsoboth ancient and modernoinvolved in this
procedure. Originally published in 1988 by Baker Book House."
