Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation
Overview
Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation seeks to identify and clarify the basic problems of interpretation that affect our reading of the Bible today. This unique volume provides a comprehensive and systematic coverage of the field of general hermeneutics. Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation examines the impact of specific academic disciplines on the interpretation of the Bible. Previously published as separate volumes, its various sections explore the interface between hermeneutics and literary criticism, linguistics, history, science, and theology.
- Has the Church Misread the Bible?, by Moises Silva

- God, Language, and Scripture, by Moises Silva
- The Art of Biblical History, by V. Philips Long
- Science and Hermeneutics, by Vern S. Poythress
