How should we expect multiple interpretations of the Bible to be kept in check?
Each of the contributors, experts in their field, considers one parameter of responsibility, which may act as a constraint on the validity of competing biblical interpretations. Stanley E.Porter considers theological responsibility; Walter Moberly on ecclesial responsibility; Richard S.Briggs on scriptural responsibility; Matthew R.Malcolm on kerygmatic responsibility; James D.G Dunn on historical responsibility; Robert C.Morgan on critical responsibility; Tom Greggs on relational responsibility, and Anthony C.Thiselton considers the topic as a whole. What emerges is a plurivocal but concordant projection of fruitful ways forward for biblical interpretation.
