In Biblical Interpretation W. Randolph Tate invites the reader to explore three predominant types of interpretation: author-centered, text-centered, and reader-centered. Tate has not, however, resigned himself merely to describe sterile methodologies or abstract theories. Concerned that readers have a practical grasp of the interpretative process, he offers description, prescription, example, and application. Review and Study sections included in each chapter provide a list of Key Terms discussed and defined in the text, Study Questions, and suggested Further Reading.
This comprehensive exploration of the interpretative process has been revised and updated and includes a new chapter that models how integrating reader-centered, text-centered, and author-centered interpretation fosters a better understanding of the Bible.
[Biblical Interpretation] deals forthrightly with contemporary literary, philosophical, and theological ideas and arguments that are necessarily carried out by specialists in technical languages. Tate’s book, however, is designed for non-specialists; it is reader friendly.”
—Edgar V. McKnight, Forman University
“Finally someone has written an introductory text on the principles of biblical hermeneutics that contains a sophisticated grasp of the latest debates within the larger field of interpretation theory. . . . Tate has provided a text for graduate and upper division undergraduate courses in biblical interpretation that is understandable, interesting, and relevant.”
—David Penchansky, University of St. Thomas
