Trinity, Revelation, and Reading: A Theological Introduction to the Bible and Its Interpretation
Overview
This text focuses on the theological nature of the Bible and biblical interpretation. It seeks to answer the question, “What roles do Holy Scripture and the reading of Holy Scripture play within the unfolding drama of the commerce and communion between God and humanity?” Through exploring this question, the text builds a case for why the Bible is more than just words.
