{"product_id":"whose-community-which-interpretation-merold-westphal-9780801031472","title":"Whose Community? Which Interpretation?: Philosophical Hermeneutics for the Church","description":"In this volume, renowned philosopher Merold Westphal introduces current philosophical thinking related to interpreting the Bible. Recognizing that no theology is completely free of philosophical \"contamination,\" he engages and mines contemporary hermeneutical theory in service of the church. After providing a historical overview of contemporary theories of interpretation, Westphal addresses postmodern hermeneutical theory, arguing that the relativity embraced there is not the same as the relativism in which \"anything goes.\" Rather, Westphal encourages us to embrace the proliferation of interpretations based on different perspectives as a way to get at the richness of the biblical text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Merold Westphal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801031478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801031472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2010 pg. 23","brand":"Merold Westphal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926106734847,"sku":"9780801031472","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6b23dfc4-6612-40de-9100-3ebaf5d8489b.jpg?v=1681081238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whose-community-which-interpretation-merold-westphal-9780801031472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
