Introduction: A journey into three worlds -- Why study backgrounds? : an apology for historical research -- The importance of language : the grammatical background -- Reading and the world behind the text : the historical and ideological backgrounds -- The Bible as literature and literary forms -- How the Hebrew Bible communicates as literature -- How the New Testament communicates as literature -- What happens when we read? -- What the reader brings to the text : the role of reader presuppositions -- Mark's Gospel and the merging of three worlds.
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.
