The core narrative of Christianity, the book that conveys it (the
Bible) and the institution of the church have been marginalised by
the development of modernity and post-modernity. Strangely,
post-modernity created an opportunity for religious thinking and
experience to re-enter many lives. Yet post-modernity is not an
adequate framework for thinking about life. There is therefore an
opportunity for Christians to imagine what comes after and to
prepare the church for a new engagement of mission with western
culture. The church, through a creative missionary imagination, can
re-define western cultural life. This sketches what such an
approach might look like. 'if you have a taste for the subversive,
a passion for the church, a heart for biblical engagement, and an
eye on the future; this book is a must-read.' Roy Searle,
Northumbria Community, former President of the Baptist Union of
Great Britain.
In this second rich and original volume from the Scripture and
Hermeneutics Seminar, the importance of linguistic issues for
biblical interpretation is analysed, the challenge of postmodernism
is explored, and some of the most creative developments in
philosophy and theology of language are assessed and updated for
biblical interpretation. From Paternoster. CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDE:
