Title: MEANINGS: The Bible As Document and As Guide Meanings: The Bible As Document and As Guide By: Krister Stendahl Format: Paperback Vendor: Fortress Press Dimensions: 6 X 9 (inches) | Weight: 13 ounces ISBN: 0800617525 ISBN-13: 9780800663667 Stock No: WW11752 |
These essays reveal the consistency and integrity of a master exegete, New Testament theologian, and churchman. Stendahl brings to the biblical text a constant concern to discover what was meant by a particular biblical passage, as free as possible of the doctrinal or cultural preoccupations of intervening centuries, but also to reflect on what the text means to us today, ever alert to the ways scripture has fueled anti-semitism, the subordination of women, and other forms of prejudice and injury. The combination of respect shown here for the diversity of meanings in scripture and the urgency of reflecting - critically and faithfully - on our contemporary responsibilities in light of scripture is irresistible. The collection is a testament to the wide range of Stendahl's interests and the depth of his perception.
