Description: The Bible for Sinners by Christopher Rowland Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The context and approach of readers have been underestimated in Biblical Exegesis. The Biblical text is credited with an abstract quality that lifts its words above time and space, above human contingencies. This book looks at the interpretations, and how certain subjects have been understood within them, including homosexuality and marriage. Publisher Description The context and approach of the reader have been underestimated in Biblical Exegesis. The Biblical text is sometimes thought to be above time and space, above mere human contingencies. This has made it monolithic - a stone on which countless individuals have been dashed to pieces. Yet this interpretation has been developed by interpreters who have institutional power, and who have been unaware that they are interpreting in the interests of those who have such power. The book looks at past and present interpretations, as well as how certain subjects have been understood within them, including homosexuality, marriage, divorce and Liberation Theology.
