About This hardback
After Pentecost, the second volume from the Scripture and Hermeneutics Series, charts the important interplay between language and biblical interpretation
The title alludes to the problem and prospect of language as the condition of theological truth. In this rich and creative volume the importance of linguistic issues for biblical interpretation is analysed, the challenge of postmodernism is explored, and some of the most creative developments in philosophy and theology of language are assessed and updated for biblical interpretation.
"This is a serious book, a genre in which there are few current representatives. The book will bear careful, patient study. It cannot be "read", but must be studied. The treatment of theological language as a methodological issue offered here matches the gravity of the topic itself. Immense learning is mobilized in the service of serious critical reflection on behalf of the church as the church faces an entirely new situation with the demise of modernist rationality and its accompanying positivism."
