Friends,
I am looking forward to a visit this week to The Urban Ministry Institute of San Francisco and our faithful friends Rob and Jenn Moore. I'll also be presenting a paper at the Evangelical Theological Society entitled: Theological Exegesis and/or Grammatical-historical Exegesis?
What Does the Theological Interpretation of Scripture Movement
Mean for Training Pastors?
Its about 30 pages, if any of you are interested in talking about it I would welcome your thoughts either here or via email. Ryan provided some helpful input on an earlier draft. The outline of the paper is below.
I. Introduction: Which Dictionary Entry Should Pastors Use: Bruce or Stendahl? 1
II. What is Theological Interpretation of Scripture? 4
A. The Text: “Canon Sense” as Common Sense 5
B. The Readers and their Communities 8
C. The Authors: Human and Divine 10
D. Four Versions of Theological Exegesis 12
III. What Have I Found—A Divine or a Devilish Illocution? Theological Exegesis for the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church 15
A. Theological Exegesis Approaches Scripture with Faith Seeking Understanding (fides quaerens intellectum) 18
B. Theological Exegesis is Faithful to the Original Contexts (Grammatical-historical Exegesis) 20
C. Theological Exegesis Reads Scripture with the Analogy of Faith (analogia fidei) 21
D. Theological Exegesis Reads Scripture with the Rule of Faith (regula fidei) 24
1) The Rule of Faith Reads Scripture as a Single Story 25
2) The Rule of Faith Finds Christ at the Center of Scripture’s Story 26
3) The Rule of Faith is Trinitarian 27
E. Theological Exegesis reads Scripture within the Community of Faith (catholica regula). 29
IV. In Conclusion: Siblings and Neighbors 31
