This work presents an engaging interdisciplinary study of the
nature and scope of interpretation, one of the most important areas
of inquiry in today's postmodern world. The three authors, all
acknowledged experts in the field, bring the resources of the
Bible, Christian tradition, and intellectual history to bear upon
contemporary hermeneutical disputes. Representing a complete
revision of The Responsibility of Hermeneutics (1985), this
substantially expanded volume has been brought up to date with
recent work in hermeneutics and sets forth an important new
perspective that shifts the interpretive focus from the past to the
promise of the future. Making use of the best insights from current
theories about language, interpretation, and the nature of the
self, The Promise of Hermeneutics demonstrates how an encounter
with contemporary interpretive theory can deepen the church's own
hermeneutical practices. The authors also show how the Christian
faith can help move us beyond the many impasses created by
postmodern thought.
Numerous books are available on the meaning and methods of
preaching, but nothing has been written that specifically addresses
the character of those who would preach. Preacher and Cross helps
fill this gap in homiletic studies by examining the relationship
between the message of Christian proclamation and the preacher,
with specific attention to ministerial character and the preacher's
use of self in sermons. Andr? Resner discusses the two dominant
approaches to homiletics-the rhetorical approach typified by
Augustine and the theological approach typified by Barth-and then
compares and contrasts these approaches to what the apostle Paul
says on the issue. Essential reading for those involved in
ministry, this work offers invaluable insights into the
relationship between preachers and the message they proclaim.
