Biblical interpretation:
The Superiority of Pre-critical Exegesis by David Steinmetz. "The medieval theory of levels of meaning in the biblical text, with all its undoubted defects, flourished because it is true, while the modern theory of a single meaning, with all its demonstrable virtues is false. Until the historical-critical method becomes critical of its own theoretical foundations and develops a hermeneutical theory adequate to the nature of the text which it is interpreting, it will remain restricted-as it deserves to be-to the guild and the academy, where the question of truth can endlessly be deferred." Apostolic Hermeneutics and an Evangelical Doctrine of Scripture by Pete Enns. "This article is an attempt to begin to outline how an understanding of the NT’s use of the OT in it Second Temple context can provide some fresh insights to help us move beyond some contemporary articulations." Bibliography of Brevard Childs' work. John Hobbins' thoughts on canon. (Link to part one; see sidebar for links to the rest of the series.) A selection of my blog posts on reading the bible Song of Songs: The OT Gateway section on the Song has a variety of links, some more useful than others. The two articles by David Clines are typical postmodern readings of the Song. James Dennison has a helpful survey of modern scholarship on the Song. The Peasant Princess is an introduction to a sermon series on the Song by Mark Driscoll. John MacArthur has an excellent series of posts critiquing Driscoll's preaching of the Song: The Rape of Solomon's Song Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. A selection of my blog posts on the Song. |
