Splendid overview of major movements in modern hermeneutics.
Hermeneutics and interpretive theory are subjects of increasingly recognized importance in the humanities, theological studies, and even the social sciences. Stan Porter and Jason Robinson bring together recent hermeneutical and interpretive thought in this concentrated, intelligible, and useful introductory volume. Rather than presenting an inclusive survey that moves too quickly over the surface of complex issues or a specialized volume on a single, narrow topic, Porter and Robinson provide critical analysis of major movements and figures in hermeneutics and interpretive theory in the modern era from Schleiermacher and Heidegger to Thiselton and Culpepper showing especially how these interpreters and their movements have impacted biblical and theological study.
