xix, 380 p. ; 24 cm. In his third edition of Biblical Interpretation, W. Randolph Tate invites his readers to journey further into the three "worlds" of the biblical text: the world of the author, the world of the text, and the world of the reader. Tate shows readers how to combine these three interpretive worlds into an integrated hermeneutical strategy that goes beyond abstract theories or sterile methodologies. Providing readers with a practical grasp of the interpretive process, Tate pairs descriptions of hermeneutical methods with examples of how to apply them to biblical texts. This edition includes an expanded discussion of parables and synopses of the latest interpretive methods, including postmodern approaches to biblical interpretation. --From publisher's description.
