Hermeneutical Issues
Resources:
• Readings
Hermeneutics is all about the science and art of interpretation and in this case we are interested in it particularly in order to understand the meaning of the Scriptural text. In the face of that task there are, for starters, obstacles such as the distance of time(s) between when it was written and today, geographical and cultural distances and the “distance” mediated to us by theories of language/meaning which might be employed in the process.
The point of the scholarly discipline is come up with the most probable understanding of the meaning of the text where what the readers who were intended to read it plays an important part in that process.
