Thiselton on hermeneutics : collected works with new essays: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Thiselton on hermeneutics : collected works with new essays" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Anthony Thiseltons masterful work in the field of hermeneutics has impacted countless students and scholars over the past several decades. Especially influential was his Two Horizons (1980), a call to take seriously the contexts of both the reader and the text. Thiseltons work continues to carry much weight, yet there has been no single place to go to access a helpful array of his writings, until now. Thiselton on Hermeneutics provides select expositions and critical discussions of hermeneutics as a multidisciplinary area. Biblical interpretation, philosophical hermeneutics, literary theory, postmodernism, and Christian theology genuinely interact in these forty-two studies to form a coherent whole. Thiseltons unique interactive and multidisciplinary approach shines through the volume. Ten of these essays almost a quarter of the collection are new (never published before) or quite recent.

Professor Thiseltons writings bridge three disciplines which are usually kept - photo 1
Picture 2

Professor Thiselton's writings bridge three disciplines which are usually kept apart by artificial barriers: Biblical Studies, Philosophical and Systematic Theology. There are few scholars anywhere in the world that can do this with comparable skill, insight, and clarity of thought. These masterly essays are accessible to a wide range of readers.

Graham N.Stanton, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK

Anthony Thiselton is one of the most influential thinkers in the field of biblical hermeneutics. Over the last four decades he has consistently anchored and sustained reflection on the central questions, and a summation of his major essays will be invaluable to all who seek to understand the discipline today.

David Jeffrey, Senior Vice-Provost and Distinguished Professor of Literature and Humanities, Baylor University, USA

Ashgate are performing a great service in bringing Professor Thiselton's writings together in this imaginative and accessible way. Anthony Thiselton occupies a unique place in contemporary theology through his work in merging the horizons of philosophical hermeneutics and theological interpretation.

Colin Brown, Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA

Anthony Thiselton presents the harvest of a lifetime of labour in biblical, systematic and philosophical theology. Written with characteristic erudition, courtesy and Christian wisdom, the writings assembled here are the work of a theological master. Few can approach his command of such a range of disciplines or his commitment to disciplined thought in the light of Christian truth.

Canon Professor John Webster, Professor of Divinity, University of Aberdeen, UK

Thiselton is one of very best in the field of biblical interpretation, hermeneutical theory, and related theological and philosophical issues. This is both an introduction to his work and a comprehensive survey of it, with the added bonus of his own up-to-date retrospective reflections. Very rarely has anyone who has gone so thoroughly into the theoretical hermeneutical issues also done so much fine and detailed biblical interpretation. His commentary on 1 Corinthians is one of the great achievements in recent biblical scholarship, and here we have extracts from it set alongside the relevant theoretical discussions.

Professor David F.Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK

In his many writings Anthony Thiselton has made a major contribution to British theology, especially in the way he has introduced the problems of hermeneutics into the theological debate in Britain. A collection like this provides a welcome survey of his wide-ranging contributions to theological scholarship.

Professor Vincent Brummer, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy of Religion, University of Utrecht, Netherlands

Anthony Thiselton is one of our leading theologians, equally at home in both New Testament studies and in philosophical and theological hermeneutics, and a collection of his major articles will be widely and warmly welcomed. He works across an astonishing range of topics, bringing profound reflection to bear on disputed issues and often moving the discussion to a higher level at which disputes turn out to be resolvable.

Professor John Barton, Oriel and Lang Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, UK

Thiselton's contribution to the intersection of hermeneutical theory and the practice of biblical interpretation is unmatched in recent times. This collection of his writings will prove an invaluable tool for those with an interest in either or both of the two foci of his work.

Merold Westphal, Fordham University, USA

One of our most distinguished and trusted voices in the arena of biblical studies and hermeneutics, Tony Thiselton has drawn together work spanning a long, fruitful and impressive career. Because these contributions have appeared in such diverse and far-long places, this collected work is especially welcome.

Joel B.Green, Dean of the School of Theology, Asbury Theological Seminary, USA

Anthony C.Thiselton combines analytical craftsmanship, a profound knowledge of contemporary (also Continental) hermeneutics and outstanding New Testament scholarship. His constructive work in systematic theology and theological hermeneutics is among the most exciting in contemporary theology.

Marcel Sarot, Faculteit Godgeleerdheid, Utrecht

Professor Thiselton has a grasp of the philosophical and hermeneutical debate as it bears upon the biblical texts which few if any can rival. His Two Horizons and New Horizons are a mine of valuable description and critique which anyone hoping to engage seriously with contemporary issues in interpretation simply cannot ignore. Many of his essays and book chapters have provided incisive and influential contributions to specific debates. Ashgate is to be congratulated in providing this collection, in effect the best of Anthony Thiselton, which will be eagerly sought out by his many admirers.

James D.G.Dunn, University of Durham, UK

Of a consistently high scholarly standard, these essays by Tony Thiselton traverse a broad range of themes in philosophical theology, doctrine and biblical interpretation. The gathering of these materials into a single collection should ensure that they continue to be studied and appropriated by others working in these fields.

David A.Fergusson, Professor of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, UK

Hermeneutics is an interdisciplinary study of how we interpret texts, especially biblical texts, in the light of theories of understanding in philosophy, meaning in literary theory, and of theology. This volume brings together the seminal thought of a leading contemporary pioneer in this field. Thiselton's The Two Horizons was a classic on how horizons of biblical texts engage creatively with the horizons of the modern world. The author's later New Horizons in Hermeneutics explored still more deeply the transforming capacities of biblical texts, while his massive commentary on 1 Corinthians interpreted an epistle.

This volume collects many of Anthony Thiselton's more notable writings from some seven books and seventy articles, to which he adds his own reappraisals of earlier work. It uniquely expounds the thought of a major contemporary British theologian through his own words, and includes his own critical assessments.
